Abstract
|
|
|
A rare case of malignant intrapulmonary teratoma is reported. The patient, 50 year old
female, had suffered from symptoms characteristic of a benign intrapulmonary teratoma
more than twenty years. After the confirmation on a bronchoscopic biopsy of
adenocarcinoma arising in the pre-existing benign teratoma, left pneumonectomy was
performed. The adenocarcinomatous component metastasized to the contralateral lung one
year after the pneumonectomy, and the patient died in 3 months after the metastasis.
The histogenesis, clinical behavior and pathologic features of intrapulmonarr malignant
teratoma are discussed, and the rarity of the pulmonary location of this lesion is
emphasized.
