Abstract: A 57-year-old male showed an abnormal mass shadow in a pulmonary bulla. Thoracotomy was performed and it was ascertained histologically that the tumour was a giant cell type carcinoma. Clinical features, histological findings and prognosis are reported.

A few reports have suggested the possible association between lung cancer and bullous disease. We report a surgical case of lung adenocarcinoma located in close proximity to pulmonary bullae. A 48-year-old nonsmoker, asymptomatic male was found to have a pulmonary tumor mass and giant bulla in the right lung. Thoracotomy identified a tumor arising from a firm, scarred and contracted area close to the bulla wall. Based on this report and review of other cases in the literature, we emphasize the need for physicians to be aware of the potential development of lung cancer in patients with pulmonary bulla.

There have been sporadic reports in the literature of an association between bullous disease of the lung and lung cancer; however, we believe that this clinical association is not well recognized. We present six cases in which bullous disease of the lung and lung cancer coexisted, and review the available literature on the topic. Five of the patients were males, the mean age of presentation was 42 yr (range: 32 to 62 yr), and all of the patients were smokers. Histologically the tumors in all six patients were non-small-cell carcinomas. The significantly younger age of these patients with lung cancer and bullous disease as compared with those reported in the literature with lung cancer but without bullous disease suggests that the association between these two processes is more than just coincidental. The utility of plain radiography and computerized tomography (CT) of the chest in screening patients with bullous disease for lung cancer is discussed.
