Novel coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) continues to pose a threat all over the world with the effect of new variants. The frequency of other secondary infections such as aspergilloma in patients with COVID-19 disease is not uncommon. Extremely rare lesions such as ciliated muconodular papillary tumor can be masked by radiological images caused by COVID-19 infection or secondary pathologies associated with it, leading to difficulties in diagnosis. Herein, we report a case in whom a diagnosis of aspergilloma and ciliated muconodular papillary tumor after six months of COVID-19 infection was made.

Bronchiolar adenoma (BA)/ciliated muconodular papillary tumor (CMPT) is a rare pulmonary neoplasm, with less than 150 cases documented in the literature. We report a unique case of BA/CMPT complicated by lymphoid interstitial pneumonia (LIP) in a 55-year-old male with Sjögren's disease. This is the first documented instance of such a comorbidity.

Solitary pulmonary papillomas (SPPs) are rare lung neoplasms. Histologically, SPP is classified into three subtypes, and mixed squamous and glandular papilloma (MP) is the rarest subtype. Although SPPs are considered benign tumors, there have been several reports on the synchronous malignant transformation in SPPs.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aims to understand the clinical and pathological features of three cases of bronchiolar adenoma and ciliated muconodular papillary tumors by analyzing their diagnosis and treatment histories at the Second People's Hospital of Weifang City.
  • Researchers conducted a retrospective analysis, collecting data from 35 articles and 71 cases, discovering that most patients were middle-aged, with a significant number having a history of smoking, and conditions were often asymptomatic until detected through physical exams.
  • Histological examination revealed that these tumors displayed distinct patterns—such as acinar and papillary formations—characterized by specific epithelial components, while diagnosis was supported by immunohistochemical markers like p63,
