| Popis: |
Combined pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema syndrome (CPFE) is a rare disease characterized by emphysema in the upper lobes of the lung and fibrosis in the lower lobes. CPFE is an important risk factor for lung cancer (LC). Although CPFE might increase the risk of LC, the prevalence of CPFE in patients with LC and the incidence of LC in patients with CPFE are unknown. LC in patients with CPFE (LC-CPFE) is associated with poor survival outcomes. The aim of this study was to present a case with CPFE to draw attention to the possibility that it may be accompanied by LC. |
