Abstract :
Objectives:
The study findings have important Clinical
implications, especially in the preoperative evaluation of
Lung Nodules and aid in the radiological diagnosis based
on CT features.
Pulmonary Sclerosing pneumocytoma is a Benign,
rare tumor of the lung that represents a diagnostic
challenge due to the Non-specific CT findings. The Aim
of this study was to present a 10-year experience with
sclerosing pneumocytoma of a large center of CHINA
for the diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary diseases,
and to emphasize differential diagnostic dilemmas as a
potential source of errors.
Material and Methods:
This represents a retrospective study of 31 patients
diagnosed and treated with sclerosing pneumocytoma in
the 10-year period. The study analyzed various
Variables, including Gender, Age, Smoking history,
Reason for CT, Nodule location, Nodule shape, Clinical
symptoms, Calcifications, and Surgical Resections.
Results:
Sclerosing pneumocytoma was more frequently
diagnosed in females (93.5%). The patients ranged in age
from 28 to 68. Most of the patients (77.4%) were
asymptomatic. 30 patients had no history of smoking
(96.8%). Mean Nodule size was 14.4mm. Most nodules
have Round, oval and smooth margin, with majority of
Nodules have location in the lower lobes of both lungs.
Most nodules were peripherally situated (54.83%).
VATS with lobectomy performed in 25 (80.64%)
patients while VATS with wedge resection performed in
6(19.64%) patients, without post-surgical complications
and Normal follow up.
