| Popis: | We report herein a rare case of primary lung cancer that occurred concomitantly with the calcified ova of a parasite. A 58-year-old man was referred to our department after a pulmonary abnormal shadow had been seen on a chest X-ray done at mass screening. A transbronchial lung biopsy (TBLB) revealed the calcified ova of a parasite. Because the possibility of concomitant lung cancer could not be ruled out, a lung biopsy was taken via video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS). The pathological diagnosis was squamous cell carcinoma, and a left upper lobectomy was serially performed through a posterolateral thoracotomy. The patient recovered uneventfully and has remained in good health without any sign of recurrence for over 9 months. Following this case report, we review three other cases of this unusual disease combination documented in the literature. |
