Abstract

The formation of pulmonary nodules is associated with benign or malignant pathologies. Based on the sizes, growth rates, and morphological features of nodules, surgical treatment or follow-up can be performed. Pulmonary nodules are frequently encountered in the practice of thoracic surgery. A 37-year-old male patient who had a 2.0¥1.9 cm nodule in the right lung was followed. His medical history revealed no chronic disease. During follow-up, the sizes of the nodule increased and, therefore, it was removed by wedge resection. The pathological examination result was reported as a larval granuloma. In conclusion, larval granulomas in the lung are extremely rare phenomena and should be further examined

Özet

Pulmoner nodül oluşumu, benign veya malign patolojiler ile ilişkilidir. Nodüllerin boyutlarına, büyüme hızlarına ve morfolojik özelliklerine göre, cerrahi tedavi veya takip yapılmaktadır. Göğüs cerrahisinde pulmoner nodüller ile sıkça karşılaşılmaktadır. Sağ akciğerinde 2.0¥1.9 cm büyüklüğünde nodül bulunan 37 yaşında erkek hasta takibe alındı. Tıbbi öyküsünde herhangi bir kronik hastalık izlenmedi. Takip sırasında nodülün boyutları arttığı için, kama rezeksiyon ile çıkarıldı. Nodül patolojik değerlendirilme sonucunda larva granülomu olarak raporlandı. Sonuç olarak, akciğerde larva granülomu çok ender bir durum olup, daha ayrıntılı bir şekilde araştırılmalıdır
