Abstract:
Lung cancer is mostly characterized by a pulmonary solid mass on CT. In rare cases,patients do not have these typical manifestation but present with diffusely-distributed small nodules and pulmonary bullae,which can easily be misdiagnosed. A special case of lung adenocarcinoma was managed in our hospital from September 24th to December 19th in 2016. Under high-resolution CT,multiple nodules were seen in both lungs,mostly in the upper lungs,involving the pleura and interlobular fissures. Some nodules had cystic changes. A large bulla was seen in the left upper lung. Its wall was thickened with multiple nodules. Lung adenocarcinoma was pathologically confirmed.
