Unmasking the mimic: lipoid pneumonia imitating primary lung cancer - a case report series of a diagnostic challenge
In this paper, we present the largest case series of lipoid pneumonia mimicking primary lung cancer from a single center reported in the literature so far. This case series highlighted the critical role of a multidisciplinary approach, including radiologists and pathologists, in differentiating lipoid pneumonia from malignancy to ensure optimal patient management.
