Abstract:
We report a case of a massive primary sclerosing pneumocytoma (PSP) involving the right lower lobe adhering esophagus with small synchronous PSP on the superior segment of the left lower lobe with concurrent mutation for B-RAF proto-oncogene, serine/threonine kinase (BRAF V600E), and phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) gene in a young female. She underwent right lower lobectomy and mediastinal lymph node dissection under single lung ventilation with tumor-free margins on diagnosis-based findings of preoperative computed tomography-guided biopsy and positron emission tomography. Histopathology was suggestive of PSP-papillary variant with concurrent mutation of BRAF V600E and PTEN genes. Post-operative follow-up at four weeks was uneventful. She has to undergo wedge resection for the contralateral disease after six weeks following recovery from the first surgery.

Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition
The epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition or EMT is a developmental process commonly observed in wound healing, embryogenesis, and cancer metastasis. EMT is induced by transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) or receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) ligands, which further...
