PEComa (clear cell "sugar" tumor) of the lung: a benign tumor that presented with thrombocytosis.
Perivascular epithelioid cell tumors of the lung are rare, benign neoplasms, usually presenting as a solitary pulmonary nodule on chest roentgenograms. Most lesions are solitary and asymptomatic, and are located within the peripheral lung. This is a case report of a 44-year-old woman who presented with thrombocytosis and solitary pulmonary nodule of the lung, which was removed by a thoracotomy.
