A lung tumour (small cell carcinoma of the lung) - centre of image. (WC/Rosen)

Lung tumours comes to pathology to get diagnosed.

This article deals with the surgical pathology (core biopsies, lung resections). Pulmonary cytopathology is dealt with in the pulmonary cytopathology article.

An introduction to lung pathology is found in the pulmonary pathology article.

SCLC
 
LCLC
  • LCLC = large cell lung cancer.
  • SCLS = small cell lung cancer.

Notes:

  • Most lung cancer fits into one of the above categories.
  • All types may be metastatic. Pathologists usually don't have to sort this out, as the clinican often knows whether a given lesion is metastatic (when correlated with radiology).
  • Lung cancers may have a mixed morphology, e.g. SCLS may have squamous component.[1]
  • Categorization as non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) should be avoided, as treatment is now somewhat dependent on subcategorization.[2]

Major types (primary)

Mnemonic ASSL:

Epidemiology

  • Adenocarcinoma is the most common (primary lung cancer).[3]
  • Adenocarcinoma is the non-smoker tumour - SCLC and squamous are more strongly associated with smoking.

Children:

Distribution

  • Distribution - think about the location of letters in mnemonic ASSL.
    • Adenocarcinoma is usually periperal, i.e. smaller airways.
    • Squamous cell carcinoma and small cell carcinoma are typically central.

Margins in lung

Margin in pneumonectomy specimens include:

  • Vessels (artery, vein).
  • Airway (bronchus).
  • Soft tissue (lymphatics, fibrous tissue and lymph nodes).[6]

Notes:

  • The traditional teaching is there are only hollow structure margins (artery, vein, airway) - yet the bronchial margin has been divided into mucosal and extramucosal.[7]
  • Peribronchovascular soft tissue involvement is a poor prognosticator but not an independent predictor if considered within the TNM staging.[6]

Management of primary lung cancer

Management in the past was determined by categorization into:

  • Small cell cancer.
  • Non-small cell cancer (includes adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, large cell carcinoma).

Microscopic features overview

Adenocarcinoma

Main article: Adenocarcinoma of the lung
  • Glands or cytoplasm with mucin.

Squamous cell carcinoma

Main article: Squamous cell carcinoma of the lung
  • Distinct cell borders with intercellular bridges.
  • Eosinophilic cytoplasm.

Small cell carcinoma

Main article: Small cell carcinoma of the lung

IHC

There is a great review paper by Jagirdar.[8]

Small cell carcinoma

Note:

  • CD56 - cytoplasmic.[10]

Adenocarcinoma

Squamous cell carcinoma

  • CK7 -ve, CK20 -ve.
  • HMWK +ve.
  • Usually TTF-1 -ve.[12]
  • p40 +ve.

Primary vs. secondary

  • TTF-1 is considered useful.[8]
    • 75% +ve adenocarcinoma
    • 11% +ve SSC
    • 50% +ve large cell carcinoma
    • 0% +ve mesothelioma
    • significant rates of +ve in some metastatic tumours -- see article by Jagirdar.

Note:

Neuroendocrine tumours

Main article: Neuroendocrine tumours

Overview

  • This is a group of tumours that has benign (e.g. carcinoid tumour of the lung) to malignant (e.g. small cell lung carcinoma) behaviour.[14]
  • They are thought to arise from pulmonary neuroendocrine cells.[15]

Classification

The grouping can be divided into four types:[16]

  • Small cell carcinoma.
  • Large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma.
  • Typical carcinoid.
  • Atypical carcinoid.

Notes:

Cytologic features

Cytologic features useful for differentiation:

  • Small cell carcinoma: necrosis, scant cytoplasm, mitoses.
  • Typical carcinoid: often more cytoplasm, no necrosis, low mitotic rate (MIB1: scant staining).
  • Atypical carcinoid: higher mitotic rate/MIB1 than typical carcinoid,[17] no necrosis.

Notes:[16]

  • Large cell and small cell tumours behave in a similar fashion; large cell can be considered a morphological variant of small cell.
  • 9/10 of carcinoids are typical and usually have a good prognosis, i.e. do not metastasize.
    • Central location (vis-a-vis peripheral location) tends favours typical carcinoid over atypical carcinoid.

Malignant tumours

Adenocarcinoma of the lung

  • AKA lung adenocarcinoma.
Main article: Adenocarcinoma of the lung

Bronchioloalveolar carcinoma

Abbreviated BAC.

The term is no longer used in the new classification;[18] it is now "adenocarcinoma in situ" - see lung adenocarcinoma.

Squamous cell carcinoma of the lung

Main article: Squamous cell carcinoma of the lung

Small cell carcinoma of the lung

  • AKA small cell lung carcinoma, abbreviated SCLC.[19]
Main article: Small cell carcinoma of the lung

Malignant mesothelioma

Should not be confused with benign multicystic mesothelioma and benign papillary mesothelioma.
Main article: Malignant mesothelioma

Non-small cell lung carcinoma

  • AKA poorly differentiated carcinoma of the lung.
Main article: Non-small cell lung carcinoma

Adenosquamous carcinoma of the lung

Main article: Adenosquamous carcinoma of the lung

Lung metastasis

  • AKA pulmonary metastasis.
Main article: Lung metastasis

Malignant potential

Atypical alveolar hyperplasia

  • Abbreviated AAH.
  • AKA atypical adenomatous hyperplasia of the lung.[20]
Main article: Atypical adenomatous hyperplasia of the lung

Atypical carcinoid lung tumour

  • AKA atypical carcinoid tumour of the lung.
Main article: Atypical lung carcinoid tumour

Solitary fibrous tumour of the pleura

Main article: Solitary fibrous tumour of the pleura

Benign tumours

Pulmonary apical cap

Main article: Pulmonary apical cap

A lesion that can mimic a lung neoplasm.

Pulmonary carcinoid tumourlet

  • AKA carcinoid tumourlet.
Main article: Pulmonary carcinoid tumourlet

Typical carcinoid lung tumour

  • AKA carcinoid tumour of the lung.
  • AKA lung carcinoid.
Main article: Typical carcinoid lung tumour

Clear cell sugar tumour of the lung

  • AKA clear cell sugar tumour.
    • Abbreviated CCST.
