Abstract
- Recent advances in radiographic imaging and thoracic surgery have facilitated surgery for small lung tumors by eliminating the need for pathological diagnosis. To date, we have experienced two cases of small lung tumors that were surgically resected without pathological diagnosis as malignant. Computed tomography (CT) revealed sub-solid nodules in the peripheral lung. After tumor resection, both tumors were pathologically diagnosed as peribronchiolar metaplasia. To the best of our knowledge, solitary peribronchiolar metaplasia showing a sub-solid nodule on CT imaging has not previously been reported.
