Abstract

A primary pleural small cell carcinoma is an extremely rare disease. Because of a newly developed metastatic lesion, we performed an operation on a patient who had undergone a right upper lobe lobectomy for adenocarcinoma 3 years previously. We resected the pleural lesion and the pathology report showed that it was not a metastatic lesion, but rather, it was a primary pleural small cell carcinoma. So we reported this case and we review the relevant literature.

원발성 흉막 소세포암은 매우 드문 질환이다. 저자들은 3년 전 우상엽 폐 선암으로 수술한 환자에서 새롭게 흉막에 전이성 병변이 발견되어서 수술을 하였다. 저자들은 흉막병변을 절제하였고 조직검사 결과는 전이성 병변이 아닌 원발성 흉막 소세포암으로 나와 문헌 고찰과 함께 증례를 발표하는 바이다.
