Clinically, the patients presented with symptoms of cough, chest pain, dyspnoea and general malaise. Diagnostic imaging revealed the presence of intrapulmonary masses; five tumours were located in the right lung and two in the left, with a general predilection for the upper lobes. All patients underwent surgical resection and staging of their tumours. Five patients were staged as T2 and T3 with nodal metastasis, while two patients in stages T1 and T3, respectively, had no nodal disease. Histologically, the giant cells were typed as syncytiotrophoblast\u2010like or \u2018null type\u2019, according to the expression of \u03b2\u2010human chorionic gonadotrophin or expression of cytokeratin alone.
