RIGHT UPPER LOBE, ENDOBRONCHIAL BIOPSY:
- SMALL FRAGMENT OF BENIGN BRONCHIAL MUCOSA WITH INFLAMMATION.
COMMENT:
The clinical history of a mass is noted.
This biopsy does not show neoplastic tissue; however, the biopsy may not be representative
of the lesion seen.

====Missed lung biopsy====
<pre>
Submitted as "Lung Mass" (Left Lower Lobe), Core Biopsy:
- Tiny cluster of indeterminate cells insufficient for a diagnosis, see comment.
- Benign lung parenchyma.
- NEGATIVE for definite lesion.
 
Comment:
Deepers were cut (x3). The radiologic findings are noted.  A re-biopsy is recommended.
</pre>
 
=====Alternate=====
<pre>
Lung, Left Lower Lobe, Endobronchial Biopsy:
- Respiratory bronchiolitis.
- Benign bronchial epithelium.
- NEGATIVE for granulomatous inflammation.
- NEGATIVE for evidence of mass lesion.
 
Comment:
Immunostains were done and compatible with bronchial epithelium (napsin negative,
TTF-1 negative, CK7 positive, CK20 negative, CDX2 negative, beta-catenin membranous
staining) and lung parenchyma (napsin positive, TTF-1 positive, CK7 positive,
CK20 negative, CDX2 negative, beta-catenin membranous staining).
