====Lepidic pattern on biopsy====
Important note: lesion '''''must''''' be >=5 mm ''and'' <=30 mm.
<pre>
Lung, Left Upper Lobe, Core Biopsy:
    - ADENOCARCINOMA, lepidic pattern.
 
Comment:
The tumour is stains as follows:
POSITIVE: TTF-1, napsin A, CK7.
NEGATIVE: p40.
 
The findings are in keeping with lepidic pattern adenocarcinoma; the differential diagnosis includes: (1) adenocarcinoma in situ, (2) minimally invasive adenocarcinoma, and (3) invasive adenocarcinoma.
 
Lung biomarkers (EGFR, ALK, PDL1, ROS1) have been ordered.
</pre>
 
 
=====Mucinous adenocarcinoma with noncontributory stains=====
<pre>
Lung, Right Upper Lobe, Core Biopsy:
- ADENOCARCINOMA, MUCINOUS, see comment.
 
Comment:
The adenocarcinoma is negative for both napsin and TTF-1. EGFR/ALK testing was ordered.
 
The findings are compatible with a primary or secondary adenocarcinoma; clinical and
radiologic correlation is required.

===Staging note===
====Mucinous====
*Two small tumours in one lobe is pT3.
The sections show cores with well-formed glands composed of foveolar-like columnar cells with a relatively bland cytomorphology. Mitotic activity is not readily apparent. A small amount of non-lesional lung parenchyma is present.
*Visceral pleural involvement upgrades small tumours.
