N1 - Funding Information:
Funding of project and data management, biometry and statistical analysis, case payment, material (sutures, case report forms, digital cameras, trial master file, and investigator site file), trial committees, investigator meetings, and internet tools was provided by Johnson & Johnson Medical Limited (Scotland, UK). Investigators received no financial incentives from the funding source. PROUD was an investigator-initiated trial and the funder had no role in study design, data collection, data analysis, data interpretation, or the writing of the report. MKD, MK, and MWB had full access to all the data in the study and had final responsibility for the decision to submit for publication.

N2 - We report two cases of benign clear cell tumor of the lung, which were found as well-circumscribed lesions on chest X-ray films without any symptoms, and removed surgically. Light microscopy showed proliferation of clear cells filled with glycogen in both cases. Immunohistochemical examination performed in a case suggested that the tumor cells might be associated to a derivation from neural and/or smooth muscle cells, because of positive staining for NSE and SMA. In another case, the tumor formed a necrotic cavity, which could be detected by the preoperative MRI examination. This report might introduce a note of caution for the pathologic and radiographic diversity of this disease.
