A pea" that can send metastases to the brain. A 67-year-old Chelyabinsk woman came for a routine fluorography without a single complaint. The photo shows a 6 mm spot in the upper lobe of the lung. Tuberculosis was ruled out. It is impossible to take a biopsy: the tumor is too small and inconveniently hidden. The doctors took a risk and decided to operate. The surgeon removed the micro-incision, and immediately during the operation the histology came back: adenocarcinoma. The patient underwent an immediate lung resection. 10 years have passed. The woman is alive and raising her grandchildren only because she did not miss the medical examination.
