Primary high-grade salivary-type duct carcinoma of the lung: a case report.
Primary salivary gland-type lung cancers are a rare group of tumors. When they do occur, the most common type is adenoid cystic carcinoma, followed by mucoepidermoid carcinoma. Primary high-grade salivary-type duct carcinoma (HGSDC) arising in the lung has not been described. We report a case of primary pulmonary HGSDC in a 55-year-old woman who was referred to our hospital for a suspicious lung tumor. The chest computed tomography revealed a solid mass in the left upper lobe. A lobectomy was performed afterward, and the mass was a primary lung HGSDC. To the best of our knowledge, HGSDC arising in the lung has not been reported previously.
