Abstract

A 56-year-old woman underwent a surgery for right breast cancer when she was 51-year-old. In February 2002, computed tomography (CT) was performed as a part of a follow-up study and showed 2 small nodules in the lower lobe of her right lung: one was 10 mm nodule in S9, and another was 5 mm in S6. On a follow-up CT in March 2005, the S9 nodule had enlarged to 19 mm and was looked as ground glass opacity (GGO). We thought it was primary lung cancer. In contrast, the nodule in S6 had not enlarged and it was thought to be benign. In May 2005, right lower lobectomy was performed. The S9 nodule was diagnosed as adenocarcinoma, and the S6 nodule as sclerosing hemangioma.
