Abstract

Adenocarcinoma presenting as a solitary mass with a cavity in chest computed tomogram is rare. A few reports have suggested an association between lung cancer and emphysema. We report a case of adenocarcinoma surrounding pulmonary emphysema that mimicked fungal pneumonia. This case highlights the need for cliniclians to be aware of the potential development of lung cancer in patients with emphysema.

폐선암이 공동성 종괴로 발현하는 것은 드문 것으로 알려져 있다. 그리고 폐기종이 폐암발생과 연관이 있다는 보고들이 있었다. 저자들은 방사선 검사에서 공동성 종괴를 가진 진균성폐렴으로 오인된, 폐기종 병변을 둘러싸고 진행한 폐선암을 경험하였다. 이 증례와 관련되어 문헌 고찰을 하였으며, 폐기종이 있는 환자에서 폐암이 잘 발생할 수 있다는 것을 알아야 할 것이다.
