Description
Elsafy and co-authors present a 2026 case report on a rare benign lung growth, with a review of all published cases. Their patient, a 69-year-old woman, had a slow-growing nodule by the lung lining found by chance. Biopsy showed lung tissue with scarring and extra smooth muscle. Surgery confirmed the rare diagnosis after look-alike diseases were ruled out.
The review gathers fourteen cases from the literature. Typical diagnosis age sits near fifty-five, and men outnumber women sharply. Every followed case ran a benign course. Slow growth on scans is the clue, the authors stress, but tissue proof must exclude mimics such as solitary fibrous tumors before the label sticks.
