摘要

这个临床病例突出说明了一名年轻的成年吸烟者在诊断未分化肺结节时遇到的挑战。由于结节的大小和位置，最初的检查没有得出结论，必须进行外科肺活检。组织病理学检查发现了肺朗格汉斯细胞组织细胞增生症（PLCH）。这强调了在肺部结节的鉴别诊断中考虑 PLCH 的重要性，尤其是在吸烟者中。此外，它还强调了在其他诊断技术有限的情况下进行手术活检的价值。早期识别和准确诊断对于 PLCH 的最佳治疗和预后至关重要。

Unravelling diagnostic challenges: A case report of pulmonary langerhans cell histiocytosis with atypical radiologic presentation.

This clinical case highlights the diagnostic challenges encountered in a young adult smoker presenting with undifferentiated pulmonary nodules. Initial investigations were inconclusive, necessitating surgical lung biopsy due to the nodules' size and location. The histopathological examination revealed pulmonary Langerhans cell histiocytosis (PLCH). This emphasizes the importance of considering PLCH in the differential diagnosis of pulmonary nodules, particularly in smokers. Moreover, it underscores the value of surgical biopsy in cases where other diagnostic techniques are limited. Early recognition and accurate diagnosis are crucial for optimal management and outcomes in PLCH.
