Prompt recognition and appropriate intraoperative decision-making are essential to optimize patient outcomes. By adhering to careful surgical techniques and collaborating with multidisciplinary teams, surgeons can effectively manage these unexpected findings and mitigate potential complications associated with LAMNs.
