Precise Localization of the Subsolid Lesion by Colour Marking under CT-Guided Control before Video-Assisted Surgery Resection: A Case Report.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Lung cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Lung lesions, often discovered incidentally on chest CT, pose a diagnostic challenge due to their diverse etiology, including both benign and malignant nature. A key step in the assessment of these lesions is the evaluation of their morphological features in the CT image, size, and behavior over time. Nodules are divided into solid and subsolid according to their density. When surgical resection is necessary, solid lesions are palpable peroperatively, whereas subsolid lesions may be unidentifiable by palpation, and their precise localization is difficult. To spare patients from extensive surgery such as thoracotomy, it is advantageous to use one of the methods of preoperative marking of these lesions. Best pr
