Abstract
We report a very unusual case of benign pulmonary adenofibroma (PAF) in a young man who presented with intermittent chest pain and was found to have a lung mass. PAF is extremely rare and is poorly characterized but thought to be benign based on the limited available literature. Indolent PAF may be misdiagnosed as solitary fibrous tumour (SFT), due to similar histological features. We review the morphological histopathological features and the relevant panel of immunohistochemical stains and molecular tests that can help, to prevent misdiagnosis and overtreatment.
