TL;DR
The tumor demonstrates indolent biological behavior and a favorable prognosis; therefore, overtreatment should be avoided in clinical practice.
Abstract
Rationale: Pulmonary adenofibroma (PAF) is a rare, benign lung tumor, classified as a primary fibroepithelial tumor of the lung. Patient concerns: This study reports 3 cases of pulmonary adenofibroma (PAF). Case 1 was a solitary tumor presenting with a cough; Case 2 was a solitary tumor manifesting as chest tightness and pain; Case 3 was a multiple-lesion variant in an asymptomatic patient. Diagnoses: Pulmonary lesions were detected in all patients by computed tomography (CT) and were ultimately diagnosed as PAF through histopathological analysis. Interventions: Cases 1 and 2 underwent video-assisted thoracoscopic wedge resection, while Case 3 received conservative management with active surveillance. Outcomes: Cases 1 and 2 recovered well postoperatively, with no signs of recurrence or metastasis during follow-up. Case 3 remained stable, with some nodules demonstrating slow growth and no evidence of metastasis. Lessons: Pulmonary adenofibroma is readily confused with hamartoma and solitary fibrous tumor, and definitive diagnosis relies on histopathological examination.The tumor demonstrates indolent biological behavior and a favorable prognosis; therefore, overtreatment should be avoided in clinical practice.
Background Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) of the lung is a rare mesenchymal tumor. Rapid growth of IMT is rare. Case presentation A 73-year-old woman was referred to our hospital because of a mediastinal tumor. Chest computed tomography (CT) showed a 13 mm anterior mediastinal tumor that was cystic on magneti...

Background Extrauterine adenomyomas (EAs) are rare benign lesions that arise outside the uterus and only rarely involve the lung. Case Presentation We describe a 34-year-old woman with a history of multiple gynecological surgeries who was diagnosed with a pulmonary benign uterine adenomyoma. Chest CT, pelvic MRI, and u...

Rationale: Laryngeal paraganglioma (LP) is a rare neuroendocrine tumor with limited evidence on its metastatic behavior. This case is unique because it describes the diagnostic process, therapeutic decisions, and clinical outcome of LP with multisystem metastases, contributing to a better understanding of its aggressiv...
Background Pulmonary benign metastasizing leiomyoma (PBML) is a rare extrauterine smooth muscle neoplasm that predominantly affects women with a history of uterine leiomyoma. Because its clinical and radiological manifestations frequently resemble advanced pulmonary malignancy, establishing the diagnosis remains challe...

Clinicians should consider thyroid carcinoma in the differential diagnosis of Pancoast syndrome, particularly in patients with a history of thyroid disease, particularly in patients with a history of thyroid disease.
Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is a rare mesenchymal neoplasm of intermediate malignant potential, most commonly arising in the lung. Although generally indolent, distant metastases occur in a minority of cases and can generate major diagnostic uncertainty, particularly when the central nervous system is invo...
