Mucinous cystadenoma of the lung

Acta Biomed Ateneo Parmense. 1997;68(5-6):115-8.

Abstract

A 56-year-old male patient came under our observation when a peripheral round mass in his right lung which he had since 1991 and which was believed to be a bronchogenic cyst, showed a volumetric enlargement of 2 cm. After performing a lobectomy of the middle lobe, the histopathological examination revealed the presence of a mucinous cystadenoma of borderline malignancy.
