Abstract
Unexpected neoplasms were found in 1.84% of lung transplant recipients' explanted lungs, with a slightly higher incidence (2.46%) in the post-LAS era. Neoplasms were more common in patients with interstitial lung diseases than in patients with centrilobular emphysema. Explanted lungs should be pathologically examined for evidence of tumor foci because this can impact post-transplantation management.
