Abstract
Modern thoracic surgery requires the ability to manage patients with ground glass opacities (GGO). However, due to the lack of a standardize approach in our institution these cases are discussed in the tumor board. We here present our therapeutic rationale in a case of a patient with multiple GGOs, who underwent an en-bloc anatomic bisegmentectomy as surgical treatment for a synchronous lung adenocarcinoma.Entities:
