Multifocal neuroendocrine cell hyperplasia accompanied by tumorlet formation and pulmonary sclerosing pneumocytoma: A case report

Abstract: BACKGROUND Pulmonary tumorlets are nodular hyperplastic neuroendocrine cells (NECs) that extend beyond the basement membrane. They often coexist with other lung diseases such as fibrosis and bronchiectasis, but rarely accompanied by pulmonary sclerosing pneumocytoma (PSP), which has not been reported in the literature. CASE SUMMARY A 54-year-old woman was admitted to the hospital because she had symptoms of bloody sputum for more than 4 mo and hemoptysis for 1 wk. Compu… Show more

“…Traditional disease diagnosis relies on pathology ( 28 ); however, pathology has difficulty in discerning the biological nature of tumors. Different diseases show different biological characteristics, which may be related to the different molecular composition and expression of the lesions.…”

“…Traditionally, the diagnosis of disease relies on pathology, 23 but this hardly reflects the biological nature of the disease. New approaches to disease typing based on molecular typing can provide global characterization of disease at the genetic level, greatly deepen the understanding of molecular pathological information, thus this typing approach has an important clinical role.…”
