Abstract
We report a very unusual case of benign pulmonary adenofibroma (PAF) in a young man who presented with intermittent chest pain and was found to have a lung mass. PAF is extremely rare and is poorly characterized but thought to be benign based on the limited available literature. Indolent PAF may be misdiagnosed as solitary fibrous tumour (SFT), due to similar histological features. We review the morphological histopathological features and the relevant panel of immunohistochemical stains and molecular tests that can help, to prevent misdiagnosis and overtreatment.
期刊介绍:
This monthly review journal aims to provide the practising diagnostic pathologist and trainee pathologist with up-to-date reviews on histopathology and cytology and related technical advances. Each issue contains invited articles on a variety of topics from experts in the field and includes a mini-symposium exploring one subject in greater depth. Articles consist of system-based, disease-based reviews and advances in technology. They update the readers on day-to-day diagnostic work and keep them informed of important new developments. An additional feature is the short section devoted to hypotheses; these have been refereed. There is also a correspondence section.
