⚙ AI-generated deep summary by qwen3.7-flash, 2026-08-23 · read from full text ⓘ

This case report describes a patient initially presenting with a solitary pulmonary nodule that was subsequently confirmed to be peripheral lung adenocarcinoma. The clinical course highlighted the rapid progression of the disease, as pleural metastasis developed within just 23 days of the initial presentation. The authors emphasize that early lung cancer often lacks specific symptoms and manifests radiologically only as nodules, making early diagnosis critical for improving survival rates despite the generally poor prognosis associated with this malignancy in China. The paper does not explicitly discuss endometriosis or adenomyosis; it was included in the corpus via a keyword match in the upstream search index.

Abstract

Currently, lung cancer has rapidly become the malignancy with the highest morbility and motality in China, with an overall 5-year survival rate of only 10-15%. Early diagnosis and surgical excision is critically important to increase the survival rate of patients with lung cancer and improve their prognosis. However, patients with early lung cancer often have no specific symptom or sign, manifest radiologically only as solitary pulmonary nodules (SPNs). Here we describe a patient presenting with SPN, which was confirmed to be lung adenocarcinoma with pleural metastasis 23 days later.
