Extremely Rare Coexistence of Peripherally Located Mucous Gland Adenoma and Pulmonary Chondroid Hamartoma

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Pulmonary mucous gland adenomas (MGAs) originating in mucous-secreting cells in the bronchi are extremely rare benign tumours. Pulmonary chondroid hamartomas (PCHs) are the most common benign neoplasms of mesenchymal origin of the lung. This study reports an unusual case where MGA and PCH coexisted in a peripheral intra-parenchymal location. A patient with a 1-cm non-specific nodule in the left lung on a computed tomography scan underwent wedge resection. Microscopically, mesenchymal elements consisting of fat and cartilage tissue were observed. Mucous glands were present around these mesenchymal elements. No cellular atypia or mitosis was observed. This allowed for complete treatment without the need for a segmentectomy.
