ABSTRACT
Well-differentiated fetal adenocarcinoma (WDFA) of the lung is a rare lung tumor that's composed of glycogen rich neoplastic glands and tubules that resemble the fetal lung at 10 to 15 weeks of gestation. Although WDFA is classified as a subtype of pulmonary blastoma or pulmonary adenocarcinoma, its prognosis is better than conventional pulmonary blastoma (biphasic blastoma) or pulmonary adenocarcinoma. It is important to identify this low grade malignancy tumor in younger patients because it is associated with low mortality. We report here on 3 cases of WDFA and the patients are all currently alive without tumor recurrence
