Abstract:
A 59‐year‐old female patient with a ground‐glass opacity(GGO) in the right upper lobe of lung was prepared for surgery .CT and positron emission computed tomography(PCT) of thorax revealed a 9 mm GGO in the right upper lobe ,with no metastasis .A 3D printing of the right lung was performed to simulate the lesion .The surgical plan was made according to the model .A video‐assisted thoracoscopic segmentectomy of apical segment of right upper lobe was performed .A microinvasive ade‐nocarcinoma was proved by frozen section .Since the cutting border was larger than 2 cm from the lesion ,no further resection was performed .Subsequently ,a systemic mediastinal lymph node sampling was performed .Final pathology demonstrated a pT1aN0M0 microinvasive adenocarcinoma of the right upper lung .This case report illustrated that the 3D printing technology may be helpful in the procedure of surgical planning in resection of GGO .
