ABSTRACT
Pulmonary placental transmogrification (PT) is a rare lung disease that takes on the histologic appearance of placental chorionic villi. We herein report a case of PT in a 66-year-old woman who presented with a single nodule on chest radiography performed during a routine health examination. She had no complaints of any symptoms. Chest radiography showed a focal ill-defined nodular opacity in the right lower lobe; chest computed tomography revealed a 17-mm lobulated, focal irregular mass with fissural retraction in the right lower lobe, suggestive of lung cancer. Pathology of a percutaneous needle aspiration biopsy revealed papillary structures resembling placental villi. These were lined by cytotrophoblast-like cells and syncytiotrophoblasts. This characteristic pathologic finding led to a diagnosis of PT. PT of the lung is found mainly in bullous or cystic lesions. However, this patient presented with a single nodule on chest radiography.
