Core Tip
Core Tip: Minute Pulmonary Meningothelial-like Nodules (MPMNs) are rare benign pulmonary nodules, which have a higher detection rate in lung tissues of patients with lung malignant diseases. The diagnosis of MPMN is difficult and often results in unnecessary or inappropriate treatment. Therefore, it is particularly important to correctly identify and diagnose the disease. This article reports a 70-year-old female patient with pulmonary adenocarcinoma combined with MPMNs and reviews of the relevant literature in order to better identify and diagnose MPMN.
