Abstract

We report a case of well-differentiated fetal adenocarcinoma (WDFA), which is a variant of pulmonary blastoma. A 36-year-old man was found to have a tumor shadow in the right middle field of a chest radiograph as part of a mass screening examination, and chest computed tomography (CT) showed a 4.5-cm pulmonary mass in the right lower lobe. A diagnosis of adenocarcinoma of the lung was made based on a CT-guided needle biopsy, and right middle and lower lobectomy and lymph node dissection were performed. The postoperative pathological diagnosis was well-differentiated fetal adenocarcinoma. WDFA has a better prognosis than conventional pulmonary blastoma (biphasic pulmonary blastoma). We summarize the cases of WDFA reported in Japan and review the literature.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 14 April 2012.
All research outputs
#8,534,528
of 25,371,288 outputs
Outputs from General Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery
#103
of 511 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#45,322
of 169,363 outputs
Outputs of similar age from General Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery
#1
of 2 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,371,288 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 43rd percentile – i.e., 43% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 511 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 2.4. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 64% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 169,363 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 16th percentile – i.e., 16% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 2 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than all of them
