Abstract

A 14-year-old, 3.9 kg, castrated male Maltese presented with an intermittent cough. A solitary mass ($1.6{\times}2{\times}1.8cm$) was located in right middle lung lobe on CT examination and thoracoscopic right middle lung lobectomy was performed without lung separation. The patient recovered uneventfully and was discharged at POD3. With a histopathologic diagnosis of pulmonary bronchoalveolar carcinoma, Re-evaluation via CT scanning with contrast on POD 50 and 255 revealed no evidence of residual, metastatic or recurrent lesions. The patient has been doing well since surgery during a 9-month follow-up period.
