Pulmonary and peribronchial lymph node tumorlets: report of a case and review of the literature.
A 38-year-old man underwent a left lower lobectomy and lingulectomy for bronchiectasis. On macroscopic examination the lungs were bronchiectatic. Microscopically, multiple tumorlets were detected in the lung parenchyma. One peribronchial lymph node contained a tumorlet. We discuss the case and review the literature on this rare entity.
