Abstract

A 73-year-old male was admitted with hemoptysis for 2 months. He was diagnosed to have sputum-positive pulmonary tuberculosis 4 years back and was treated with antitubercular drugs for 6 months. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) of the thorax at that time revealed a cavitary lesion with surrounding consolidation in the right lower lobe of the lung. Contrast-enhanced CT of the chest during present admission showed a mass lesion in the lower lobe of the right lung, which was diagnosed as large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of the lung on histopathological examination. We describe a patient who developed large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of the lung in a posttuberculosis cavity which, to our knowledge, is the first such report.

肺结核后腔的大细胞神经内分泌癌

一名73岁男性因咳血入院2个月。4年前，他被诊断为痰阳性肺结核，并接受了6个月的抗结核药物治疗。当时胸部的对比增强计算机断层扫描（CT）显示右肺下叶有空洞性病变，周围有实变。本次入院期间胸部增强CT显示右肺下叶有肿块，组织病理学检查诊断为肺大细胞神经内分泌癌。我们描述了一名在结核后腔中发展为肺大细胞神经内分泌癌的患者，据我们所知，这是第一例此类报告。
