Abstract

Well-differentiated fetal type adenocarcinomas used to be classified as subtype of pulmonary blastomas until recently. Today it is considered a rarely seen type of adenocarcinoma, characterized by low malignant potential and low mortality. In this article, we report a patient who was found to have a well-differentiated fetal type adenocarcinoma, following left lower lobectomy. We believe that the identification of this cancer subtype in patients with lung carcinoma will reduce unnecessary radical treatment methods beyond surgery.

Key Words: Well differentiated Fetal Adenocarcinoma; Lung Cancer, Pulmonary Blastomas.
