Description
A rare lung cancer that looks and acts like liver cancer can hide behind a stubborn cough. Rami Khader and co-authors report such a case in 2026: a man in his fifties, a heavy smoker, treated for pneumonia without getting better. Scans later showed a collapsed, consolidated lung lobe, swollen chest glands, and many bone lesions, while the liver itself was clear.
A needle biopsy found a poorly formed gland cancer with signet ring cells, and stains matched the liver-like pattern that names this disease. One usual blood marker stayed normal, which the authors warn does not rule the disease out. Three rounds of chemotherapy failed to slow the decline. They urge early biopsy when lung infection does not resolve.
