“…A PMC is a cystic adenocarcinoma with copious mucin production and resembles the tumors of the same name in the ovary, breast and pancreas (4). According to Iwasaki et al (5), 20 cases of PMC had been reported so far, in patients ranging from 29 to 75 years (median, 64 years) of age, with no patient gender difference (6). The majority of patients were asymptomatic and the lesions were discovered incidentally, but some presented with non-specific respiratory symptoms including cough, chest pain, dyspnea, and bloody sputum (5, 7, 8).…”

A pulmonary mucinous cystadenocarcinoma is an extremely rare tumor that is considered to be a cystic variant of mucin-producing lung adenocarcinoma. We present a case of pulmonary mucinous cystadenocarcinoma in a 54-year-old woman. Chest CT scans showed a 4.3-cm-sized, lobulated, well-defined, and homogeneous mass in the right middle lobe with peripheral stippled calcifications that demonstrated low-attenuation with no enhancement after contrast administration; 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET/CT demonstrated mild heterogeneous FDG uptake. The mass was diagnosed as adenocarcinoma with mucin production by transbronchial lung biopsy. Right middle lobectomy was performed, and the pathologic examination disclosed a pulmonary mucinous cystadenocarcinoma.

“…Regarding pulmonary mucinous adenocarcinoma, there have been cases with bilateral multifocal cystic lesions (22)(23)(24). Some authors consider PMCAC to be a cystic presentation of a mucin productive pulmonary adenocarcinoma, with a much higher incidence compared to PMCA (25,26).…”

Cystic lung disease is a group of heterogeneous pulmonary diseases resulting from hereditary/congenital disorders, systemic disorders and infectious causes among others. Pulmonary mucinous cystic neoplasia is a spectrum of neoplastic cystic diseases with abundant mucin, of which pulmonary mucinous cystadenocarcinoma (PMC) is a rare malignant subtype. We present a case of a 66-year-old man who presented with dyspnoea, cough, fatigue and weight loss. Imaging of his chest showed numerous cavitary lesions, and the diagnosis of PMC was made based on lung biopsy. He received palliative chemotherapy and died 1 year later. We present a literature review of PMC based on 26 reported cases, including our own.
