OBJECTIVES: Primary @entity5 of the lung are rare @entity5 which comprise approximately 0.5% to 5% of all @entity358 in adults and roughly 20% to 30% of all @entity5 . The purpose of this retrospective, descriptive study was to describe the incidence, characteristics, and outcomes of @entity1 treated for @entity2 at a single institution. MATERIALS AND METHODS: All @entity1 with a diagnosis of @entity2 treated from 1989 to 2009 were reviewed. Data collected included demographics, pathology, @entity286 use, clinical presentation, @entity5 location, @entity5 spread, treatment, and survival. RESULTS: There were 59 cases of @entity2 : 47 typical (80%) and 12 atypical (20%). All but 4 @entity1 underwent surgery, including 54 (92%) lung-sparing resections and 1 pneumonectomy. Five of 55 @entity1 received concurrent adjuvant chemoradiation therapy; 4 @entity1 with atypical and 1 with typical histology. Three additional @entity1 with atypical @entity4303 were treated only with adjuvant radiotherapy, palliative radiotherapy, or palliative chemotherapy, respectively. The Kaplan-Meier 5- and 10-year overall survivals were both 80% within the entire population. In the 88% of @entity1 who achieved complete remission, disease-free survival was 98%. A review of a large series from the literature is also presented. CONCLUSIONS: Surgical resection was primary and adequate therapy for most typical @entity5 with high overall survival and disease-free survival. Adjuvant chemotherapy or radiotherapy might be considered for @entity1 with atypical @entity5 who present with adverse pathologic findings.
