Multiple benign notochordal cell tumors in lung with cystic change
Benign notochordal cell tumor (BNCT) is a benign lesion derived from notochordal cells. Although it is relatively common in intraosseous lesion, pulmonary BNCT is extremely rare. We present a case of 54-year-old male with multiple pulmonary nodules, in which were considered to be metastatic chordoma...

| description | Benign notochordal cell tumor (BNCT) is a benign lesion derived from notochordal cells. Although it is relatively common in intraosseous lesion, pulmonary BNCT is extremely rare. We present a case of 54-year-old male with multiple pulmonary nodules, in which were considered to be metastatic chordomas initially. For 20 months follow-up without any therapy, most of the nodules had no remarkable change but some nodules showed cystic change. We consulted with pathologists specializing in chordoma and the final diagnosis of the nodules was considered as BNCT rather than chordoma. We herein report the case of multiple pulmonary BNCTs with cystic change, comparing with previous reports. |
