Description

Abstract-Background, A rare pleomorphic adenoma of the lung is presented. Case, An abnormal shadow was pointed out in the left lung in 2000. Chest CT showed a pulmonary nodule in the left, lingular lobe, measuring 2.0 cm in diameter. He underwent fiberoptic bronchoscopy, but it remained indeterminate. During follow-up, the size of the tumor increased based on the findings of chest X-ray in August 2007. Thus, we decided to perform surgical intervention for the tumor, and obtained a diagnosis of pleomorphic adenoma. Conclusion, We experienced a case of pleomorphic adenoma which was followed up for more than 10 years. Pleomorphic adenoma is considered to be a benign lung neoplasm based on the histopathology, but malignant or aggressive behavior, such as local recurrence, has been reported.
