Abstract

Pulmonary adenofibroma is a rare tumor, with a few reported cases in the literature. Radiologically, the lesion appears as a solitary pulmonary nodule in most cases, and the multiplicity of this disease entity is extremely rare. We present an unusual case of pulmonary adenofibroma in a 71-year-old woman manifested as two nodules in different lobes of the lung on CT. Histopathological and immunohistochemical examinations are needed to establish the definitive diagnosis of pulmonary adenofibroma.

폐에서 발생한 선섬유종은 드물게 발생하는 종양으로 이 양성 병변에 대해 발표된 보고는 매우 적다. 영상의학적으로 대부분의 이 병변은 단일 폐결절로 나타나며, 다발성은 극히 드물다. 저자는 71세 여자 환자에서, 전산화단층촬영 검사상 서로 다른 엽에 두 개의 결절로 보인 폐의 선섬유종에 대한 흔치 않은 증례를 보고하고자 한다. 폐의 선섬유종의 확실한 진단을 위해서는 조직병리학적 검사와 면역조직화학 검사가 필요하다.
