Non-Specific Inflammatory Intra-Thoracic Mass Mimicking Malignancy: A Case Report
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 4
Abstract
A 42-year-old man presented with long standing history of cough with hemoptysis. The clinical and radiological features were suspicious for a low grade malignancy. An enbloc resection of tumor with adherent chest wall and diaphragm was performed. The histological finding of chronic non-specific inflammation surprised us. Although few benign intra thoracic mass lesions are known to mimic lung cancer but a non- specific inflammatory mass lesion in thorax masquerading as malignancy has never been reported. We report our experience with this unique clinical entity and also discuss the diagnostic and therapeutic challenge we faced in managing this patient
