“…Mizushima et al found no difference in survival between lung adenocarcinoma patients less than and more than 30 years of age 6 . Similarly, a retrospective study of patients younger than 50 years of age compared with those older than 50 found no difference in survival or in time to disease progression 9 .…”

“…The most common types of lung cancer in this group of patients are pleuropulmonary blastoma, germ-cell tumours (teratocarcinoma), carcinoid, and metastatic cancer from a non-lung primary 5 . In reference to nsclc occurring in young people, a higher incidence of adenocarcinoma is seen in female patients, and most cases show no history of tobacco use 6 . This observation suggests that genetic factors may have a greater role in the development of cancer in this patient population.…”

Metastatic Lung Adenocarcinoma in a 20-Year-Old Patient

Lung cancer is rare disease in patients under 25 years of age. It typically occurs in older patients with a history of tobacco use. This case concerns a 20-year-old man with no history of tobacco use who complained of several months of cough and lower back pain and an 11.3-kg weight loss. He was treated for pneumonia after a chest radiograph showed total opacification of the right lung. Computed tomography imaging subsequently revealed a superior right hilar mass and mediastinal lymphadenopathy. Further imaging studies showed diffuse metastatic disease. Mediastinal biopsy showed poorly differentiated epithelioid tumour with desmoplastic stromal reaction, neutrophil infiltration, and squamous differentiation. Tissue immunostaining confirmed a non-small-cell lung cancer. Unfortunately, despite aggressive therapy, the patient's disease progressed, and he died within 9 months. In this paper, we hope to illustrate the unique challenges in diagnosing and treating young patients with metastatic lung cancer.

“…The incidence of resected lung cancer in patients under 20 years of age was 0.02% (7/31,301 cases), and that under 30 years of age was 0.1% (37/31,301 cases) in Japan in 2009 11) . Mizushima et al 12) reported that a high incidence of female sex and so -called low grade malignant tumor, and a low incidence of squamous cell carcinoma were characteristics of lung cancer in patients younger than 30 years of age. From the viewpoint of prognosis, WDFA in young patients is a low -grade malignant tumor.…”

: A 20 -year -old woman was found to have a tumor shadow on chest X -ray examination during mass screening and was admitted to our hospital. The chest radiograph revealed a round tumor in the right upper lung field. Chest computed tomography (CT) showed a well -defined, 3 -cm -diameter mass in the right upper lobe. The patient underwent a right upper lobectomy under video -assisted thoracoscopic surgery. The postoperative pathological diagnosis was welldifferentiated fetal adenocarcinoma (WDFA), stage IA (pT1bN0M0). The patient was well and free of disease four years after surgery. WDFA is a rare pulmonary neoplasm resembling fetal lung and classified as a variant of adenocarcinoma. WDFA occurs in younger people more often than the other histological types of primary lung cancer. An additional young case of WDFA is reported, along with a review of the relevant literature.

“…Other studies, however, tend to show that women have higher morbidity rates than men for chronic conditions such as cancer. Mizushima et al . (1999) observed that there was a higher incidence of lung carcinoma among female patients who were less than 30 years of age.…”
