“…Metastasis from endometrial stromal sarcoma 8 and benign metastasizing leiomyoma are other lesions that occasionally can present as pulmonary cysts, but they were not considerations in our case owing to the sex of the patient. Type I pleuropulmonary blastoma 9 generally involves small children, presents as a large mass, and has the histological and immunohistochemical characteristics of rhabdomyosarcoma; all these features were absent in our case.…”

Cystic fibrohistiocytic tumor of the lung presenting as a solitary lesion

Cystic fibrohistiocytic tumor of the lung is a rare neoplasm. In many cases it represents a metastasis from a benign or low-grade fibrohistiocytic tumor of the skin, but occasionally it may be primary. Radiologically it usually occurs as a cystic change of multiple pulmonary nodules, and pneumothorax is the most frequent presenting symptom. We present here a 16-year-old man with recurrent right pneumothorax. The patient had no history of cutaneous fibrohistiocytic lesions. He underwent videothoracoscopic right apical segmentectomy, right lower lobe nodulectomy, and pleuroabrasion. Microscopy of the apical segmentectomy showed a cystic fibrohistiocytic tumor, whereas the nodule of the lower lobe was an intraparenchymal lymph node. The patient is alive with no tumor recurrence. The differential diagnosis includes Langerhans cell histiocytosis, lymphangioleiomyomatosis, pleuropulmonary blastoma, and metastatic endometrial stromal sarcoma. This disease usually occurs with multiple pulmonary cysts and cavitation. This case is the first reported presenting as a single lesion.

“…The cytological features within the cellular interstitial elements are similar to those of benign or low‐grade fibrohistiocytic lesions that arise in the skin, with the architectural changes of cyst formation probably reflecting chronic involvement of alveolar parenchyma, as evidenced by positive staining of the cells lining the cysts by TTF‐1. Why cyst formation occurs in relation to certain lung diseases is unknown, but it is well described in other indolent proliferative processes, such as Langerhans cell granulomatosis, 6 lymphangioleiomyomatosis 7 and metastatic low‐grade sarcomas 8,9 …”

Cystic fibrohistiocytic tumours presenting in the lung: primary or metastatic disease?

“…Interestingly, in case 4, the preoperative differential favoured a necrotizing aspergillosis/aspergilloma, on the basis of a mass lying within a cavity within the lung, although a core biopsy subsequently showed a low‐grade neoplasm. It is uncertain why these tumours underwent cystic change, although it is a recognized phenomenon in indolent tumours, in particular low‐grade metastatic disease 24,25 . Another possibility is that it reflects chronic expansion of the cystic components within the tumour.…”
