Abstract

Several cases reported in the literature have confirmed the link between pulmonary aspergillosis and various malignant diseases. Furthermore, it has been observed that the correlation between carcinoid tumor and lung adenocarcinoma is quite uncommon. The etiopathogenic mechanisms underlying these correlations remain poorly defined. We present the case of a patient with three of these diseases: a lung adenocarcinoma with a lepidic pattern, a typical carcinoid, and pulmonary aspergillosis. An additional noteworthy aspect of this case pertains to the timely detection of both lung malignancies. Thus, the necessity for further investigation to ascertain the pathogenic connection among the three diseases is underscored. The ultimate objective is to enhance the prognosis of individuals diagnosed with lung cancer, which is a prevailing malignant disease on a global scale. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
