Abstract:
:Pulmonary sequestration (PS) is an uncommon lung disease. Carcinoid tumorlets in pulmonary sequestration are extremely rare. This case report presents a rare clinical case of carcinoid tumorlet in pulmonary sequestration with bronchiectasis after breast cancer. A 64-year-old female was diagnosed with infiltrating ductal carcinoma of the left breast in February 2009. Chest computer tomography (CT) revealed a cystic low-density mass of ∼2.5×4.7 cm in the right lower lung field, as well as cystic bronchiectasis in the right lower lobe. A right lower lobectomy was performed. In the surgery, abnormal vessel growth from the mass was found. Therefore, intralobar PS was diagnosed and pathological examination supported the diagnosis. Subsequently, pathological examination identified a carcinoid tumorlet in the PS. This report presents a rare clinical case of PS and bronchiectasis as well as carcinoid tumorlet in PS following diagnosis of breast cancer three years earlier. When a mass is found in the lung of patents with bronchiectasis with a history of breast cancer, aggressive therapy should be considered, since the mass may be a tumor or precancerous lesion.
