  • Title: [A case of thoracoscopic resection of a pulmonary infarction mimicking a metastatic lung tumor].
    Author: Shimada K, Tsuchida M, Yamato Y, Hayashi J.
    Journal: Kyobu Geka; 1999 Aug; 52(9):790-2. PubMed ID: 10453171.
    Abstract:
    We report here a rare case of pulmonary infarction which was resected as a metastatic pulmonary tumor. A 57-year-old male patient referred for exhibiting an abnormal shadow on chest X-ray 8 months after the resection of invasive adrenal tumor. The patient underwent thoracoscopic resection of the lesion as a metastatic tumor. However, intraoperative pathological examination revealed that the resected specimen was pulmonary infarction. Post-operative MRI and ultrasound images showed no evidence of venous thrombus. Pulmonary infarction can exhibit an abnormal shadow in the lung fields, and it is necessary to be distinguished from true tumor.
