Abstract
Pulmonary glandular papilloma is a rare benign neoplasm that has not been studied extensively. This neoplasm presents as a solid nodule, consolidation, or mass, with or without atelectasis, and assessing the correlation between these findings and the risk of malignancy is challenging. A 60-year-old woman presented a solitary pulmonary nodule on screening chest radiography and chest computed tomography (CT). During the subsequent 2-year follow-up, CT showed a progressive increase in nodule size and an air bronchogram, suggesting malignancy. The patient underwent a right upper lobectomy, and the final diagnosis was glandular papilloma.
Teaching point: Pulmonary glandular papilloma with growth and an air bronchogram.
