A RARE CASE REPORT: LUNG ADENOCARCINOMA WITH DIFFUSE LESIONS IN A YOUNG MALE PATIENT

The images of diffuse lung involvement are seen in various respiratory diseases, including lung adenocarcinoma (ADC). After ruling out acute infectious causes, lung biopsy is valuable for a definitive diagnosis, with transbronchial biopsy via flexible bronchoscopy being an effective and safe diagnostic approach. However, the widespread lung damage in these patients poses a challenge for transbronchial biopsy. Chemotherapy is often difficult due to the overall poor health of the patient. Targeted therapies, specifically tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), have shown efficacy in lung cancer treatment.
