Successful lung transplantation from a donor with lung and ovarian masses.

Declining a donor when there is a reasonable possibility that the abnormality on chest imaging could be benign carries the risk of losing out on potentially usable lungs in an already parched landscape of donor organ availability.

Herein, we present a case highlighting successful bilateral lung transplantation from a relatively imperfect donor.
