Abstract
Cystic mucinous tumors of the lung are recently described neoplasms whose h istology is different from most lung adenocarcinomas, and represent a spect rum of malignant potential. Little is known of the behavior of the more mal ignant subtype. We present a cystic mucinous tumor of borderline malignancy that recurred locally following initial limited resection, and was treated with lobectomy. (C) 2001 by The Society of Thoracic Surgeons.
