Abstract

A 49-year-old woman underwent a pneumonectomy because of a mass in the middle lobe. Histological examination of the tumour showed a well-differentiated fetal adenocarcinoma (WDFA). This rare tumour appears to be associated with an excellent prognosis in the absence of metastases following surgical resection.
