“…Limited follow up data is available. 3 patients from experience of Ortiz et al 14 had a mean follow of 72 months with no evidence of recurrent disease or new tumors in other locations. Another patient reported by Shapiro et al 20 showed relief of respiratory symptoms following surgery and at 2 year follow up.…”

“…In a retrospective study of 103 cases of pulmonary hamartoma and 410 cases of emphysema, Ortiz et al 14 found PT in 3 cases, of which 1 was associated with hamartoma and 2 were associated with emphysema. All 3 patients were male with ages 55, 54 and 61 years, and there was no difference in the morphology of the 3 cases contradicting to the proposal of Xu et al 5 …”

Pulmonary placental transmogrification associated with adenocarcinoma of the lung: A case report with a comprehensive review of the literature

Pulmonary placental transmogrification (PT) is a rare entity with less than 40 cases reported in the literature. Most reported cases are associated with either bullous emphysema or with pulmonary fibrochondromatous hamartomas. We present only the second case of PT associated with adenocarcinoma of the lung. A 67-year-old female with multiple chronic medical ailments presented with shortness of breath and was found to have a 6-cm mass in the upper lobe of her right lung. A computed tomography (CT) guided core biopsy was performed that showed a well-differentiated adenocarcinoma. Interestingly the normal lung tissue showed placental villous architecture. A unique feature of our case is that the diagnosis was made on a needle core biopsy, unlike all the other cases in the literature. We also provide a comprehensive review of this rare entity.

Objective Pulmonary placental transmogrification (PT) is a benign lesion curable by resection, represented by an unusual peculiar morphological variation including placentoid bullous change in the pulmonary hamartoma. In this retrospective study, we aimed to examine the histopathological features of pulmonary hamartomas in lung, to evaluate the different histological components, especially PT, and to investigate importance of PT pattern and its relationship with other clinicopathological features. Methods Thirty-five cases of pulmonary hamartomas were recruited from the records between 2001 and 2021, divided into two groups according to presence of PT, as PT (-) and PT (+) in pathological examination. Results 77.1% of all patients were male. There was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of age, sex, comorbidity, presence of symptoms, tumor localization, and radiological findings (P > 0.05). Pulmonary hamartomas were resected totally from 28 patients (80%). Five of these patients (17.9%) had PT components in resection materials with varying degree between 5 and 80%, and all were from male patients. Examination with frozen sections were performed in 15 PT (-) and 5 PT (+) patients but diagnosis with frozen sections was not achieved in any of PT (+) patients. Most of materials included chondroid components (52.22 ± 29.7%) in both groups (P < 0.05). Conclusion The placental papillary projections are available patterns associated with a pulmonary hamartoma and these projections observed especially in frozen sections are very crucial to recognize PT pattern in hamartomas, as they can result in confusions in differential diagnosis of malignities.

“…It is an extremely infrequent and benign lung disease, with only 40 cases reported in the literature, whose etiology is still unknown [1]. The word transmogrification means the act of changing into a different form or appearance, whether it is vegetable, animal, mineral, or human [2].…”

We present a 47-year-old male without a relevant history or past respiratory diseases. He debuted with an acute, non-complicated COVID-19 infection, and later he started with mMRC-2 dyspnea, accompanied by a non-expectorant cough of four months evolution. A CT thoracic scan showed a dilatation of the aerial homogenous space and a well-defined anterior left pericardiac level, and a pericardial left bulla was diagnosed. The patient was treated with surgical intervention by video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery and had an adequate post-surgical evolution. The PPT must be managed by a multidisciplinary team with the definitive treatment of surgical resection.
