A salivary gland-type monomorphic adenoma with trabecular proliferation in the lung.
Salivary gland-type adenoma, especially monomorphic adenoma in the lung is very rare. We report a 66-year-old previously healthy woman who developed cough, hemosputum, and fever. Bronchoscopy revealed an endobronchial mass in the proximal portion of the left lower lobe bronchus. Following left lower lobectomy, the pathological diagnosis was an unusual monomorphic adenoma of the salivary gland-type with trabecular proliferation.
