Summary:We report a rare case of lung adenocarcinoma combined with minute pulmonary meningothelial-like nodule (MPMN) in a young adult. A 39-year-old woman was referred to our department for abnormal shadow of the right lower lobe. Chest computed tomography (CT) showed a mass shadow, 11 mm in size, in right S6. Since fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) demonstrated a lesion with FDG activity, with an increased uptake value of 2.2, this lesion was suspected to be a lung cancer. Wedge resection of right S6 was performed via thoracoscopy. The intraoperative pathological diagnosis was invasive lung adenocarcinoma, and additional right S6 segmentectomy and lymph node dissection (ND1a) was performed. The final pathological diagnosis of the tumor was adenocarcinoma of the lung, and MPMN was incidentally found by pathology in reseced specimen.
