Abstract
Abstract: Primary epithelioid trophoblastic tumor (ETT) of the lung is exceedingly rare. Only about three cases have been reported in Pubmed and worldwide literature. We presented a case of multiple primary ETT of the lung occurring in a 33-year-old Chinese female patient. Comprehensive physical examinations revealed no evidence of a primary lesion on the uterus or cervix uteri. Microscopic examination of the tumor demonstrated ETT of the lung, which was confirmed by immunohistochemical staining and declining level of beta-human choriogonadotropin ( β -HCG) after the operation. Our case revealed that the ETT can occur in the lung and should be considered when a female had a tumor of lung with increasing β -HCG.
摘要：肺部原发性上皮样滋养细胞肿瘤（ETT）极为罕见。Pubmed和全球文献中仅报道了约3例。我们报告了一例 33 岁的中国女性肺部多发性原发性 ETT 病例。综合体检未发现子宫或宫颈有原发病灶。肿瘤显微镜检查显示为肺ETT，免疫组化染色和术后β-人绒毛膜促性腺激素（β-HCG）水平下降证实了这一点。我们的病例表明，ETT可发生在肺部，当女性肺部肿瘤伴有β-HCG升高时应考虑ETT。
期刊介绍：
The journal will cover studies related to pathology including morbid anatomy, surgical pathology, clinical pathology, diagnostic cytopathology including gynecologic cytology and aspiration cytology, hematology including immuno-hematology and medical microbiology. The journal gives preference to clinically oriented studies over experimental and animal studies. The Journal would publish peer-reviewed original research papers, case reports, systematic reviews, meta-analysis, letters to the editor and brief communications. Review articles on current topics usually are invited by the editor.
