The main sub-types of lung cancer are non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) and small cell carcinoma (SCLC). About 85% of lung cancers are of the non-small cell type, of which more than 50% are adenocarcinomas. Primary papillary adenocarcinoma (PA) is a subtype of adenocarcinoma with predominance of papillary structures that replace the underlying alveolar architecture supported by fibro-vascular cores with complicated secondary and tertiary branches. PA is a relatively rare type that can present a diagnostic challenge when it presents as a non-resolving infilitrate as seen in this case. It is more common in woman and non-smokers. The subtype of adenocarcinoma is key factor for therapeutic choice of chemotherapy. The case reviewed here is a rare presentation of a middle aged chronic smoker Man with past medical history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) who was treated several times for recurrent episodes of worsening dyspnea attributed to an infectious etiology, but without any significant improvement which led to further testing and trans-bronchial biopsy which reveled PA of the lung. Tissue diagnosis is therefore warranted in patients with a non-resolving lung infiltrate.","PeriodicalId":92099,"journal":{"name":"Medical case reports (Wilmington, Del.)","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.36648/2471-8041.5.3.128","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69703846","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Organising pneumonia is defined pathologically by the presence in the distal air spaces of buds of granulation tissue progressing from fibrin exudates to loose collagen containing fibroblasts. Since organising pneumonia is a non-specific inflammatory pulmonary process, it may result from a number of causes. Pathologists may report features of organising pneumonia in association with conditions such as infectious pneumonia, lung abscess, empyema, lung cancer, bronchiectasis, broncholithiasis, chronic pulmonary fibrosis, aspiration pneumonia (giant cells and foreign bodies usually are present), adult respiratory distress syndrome, pulmonary infarction, and middle lobe syndrome. This is an interesting, yet challenging case trying to formulate a diagnosis of a patient presented with worsening of dyspnea over more than a year. The patient has history of unsuccessful treatment of eosinophilic asthma with biological agents while also on treatment with prednisone for query organizing pneumonia.","PeriodicalId":92099,"journal":{"name":"Medical case reports (Wilmington, Del.)","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.36648/2471-8041.5.3.126","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69703732","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
