AB - We report two cases of benign lesions mimicking local recurrence after lung cancer segmentectomy.
Positron emission tomography (PET) and computed tomography (CT) revealed new nodules with abnormal
uptake in the remaining lobes; they were found to be benign lesions. In the first case, the new nodule reduced
during the clinical course of the patient. In the second case, completion lobectomy was performed as the
intraoperative frozen section diagnosis was malignancy three years after the segmentectomy. These cases
suggest that oncologist should consider the possibility of benign lesions mimicking local recurrence in the
remaining lobes after segmentectomy for lung cancer.
