Diffuse idiopathic pulmonary neuroendocrine cell hyperplasia associated with bronchiectasis: A rare case

Abstract

Diffuse idiopathic pulmonary neuroendocrine cell hyperplasia is the precursor neuroendocrine tumor proliferations comprising extended focal extraluminal nodules in whole lung occasionally or limited to the bronchial or bronchiolar walls. A 30-year old patient who underwent lower left lobectomy due to the extended saccular bronchiectasis was presented. Histopathological examination of the surgical specimen revealed diffuse idiopathic pulmonary neuroendocrine cell hyperplasia associated with bronchiectasis.

Bronşektazi zemininde gelişen diffüz idiyopatik pulmoner nöroendokrin hücre hiperplazisi: Nadir rastlanan bir olgu

Abstract

Nöroendokrin hücre hiperplazisi çoğunlukla havayolu mukozasında bazal membranı penetre etmeyecek şekilde ortaya çıkan nadiren tüm akciğerde yaygın odaksal ekstralüminal nodül oluşturan nöroendokrin tümör öncülü proliferasyonlardır. Bu çalışmada 30 yaşında, genişletilmiş sakküler bronşektazi nedeniyle opere edilen ve cerrahi spesmenin histopatolojik değerlendirmesinde ek olarak diffüz idiyopatik pulmoner nöroendokrin hücre hiperplazisi saptanan olgu sunuldu.
