Abstract

An estimated 2~16% of primary lung cancers form cavities with cases that form thin-walled cavities being comparatively rare. We treated a patient with squamous cell carcinoma of the lung with a small cystic shadow that showed no changes for 3 years. The cyst then suddenly grew larger, after which the cyst wall thickened over time and a thin-walled cavity was seen. Here we report this important case showing the development process of lung cancer that formed a thin-walled cavity, together with a discussion of the literature.
