Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Ciliated muconodular papillary tumor (CMPT) is a rare benign lung tumor characterized by ciliated columnar cells, mucous cells, and basal cells. Herein, we report a case of CMPT with 11 years of preoperative follow‐up, depicting the natural course of the tumor and changes in computed tomography (CT) findings. A 39‐year‐old man had a 5‐mm solid pulmonary nodule in the right lower lobe that had slowly grown and transformed into a thin‐walled cavitary lesion. Right lower lobe lobectomy was performed and the tumor was confirmed to be a CMPT. Although it is difficult to diagnose CMPT with CT findings alone, CMPT should be considered as a possible diagnosis when a slowly growing nodule undergoes cavitary changes. Ciliated muconodular papillary tumor (CMPT) is a rare tumor and the clinicopathological characteristics of the tumor is yet to be defined in detail. We report a case of CMPT with preoperative long‐term follow‐up, which showed cavitary change in solid nodule. From the case, we should consider CMPT as differential diagnosis when there is a slowly growing nodule with cavitary change.
