Our study indicates that 18F-FDG uptake in lung cancer correlates well with the Glut-1, HK-II, and PCNA expression. For nonmalignant lesions, the presence of a higher inflammatory process correlated with 18F-FDG uptake.
We report here a case of solitary atypical adenomatous hyperplasia (AAH). A 17-year-old non-smoker man developed spontaneous pneumothorax, and computed tomogram scanning of his chest revealed a ground-glass opacity measuring 5 × 5 mm in the right lung with no change in its size for the next 7 months. To exclude the possibility of pulmonary neoplasia, he underwent partial pulmonary resection. The postoperative pathologic diagnosis was AAH. The present case is very exceptional for AAH because of the patient’s young age and non-association with pulmonary carcinoma. The postoperative 23-month follow-up was uneventful.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
