Lung metastasis, also pulmonary metastasis and metastatic lung disease, is relatively common and generally carries a poor prognosis.
General
- Relatively common.
Microscopic
Features:
- Variable - dependent on site of origin.
Colorectal adenocarcinoma - usually distinctive morphologically:
- Typically gland forming.
- Ellipsoid/elongated pseudostratified nuclei with moderate nuclear atypia.
- +/-Dirty necrosis.
Others:
- Urothelial carcinoma - may mimic squamous cell carcinoma of the lung.
- Upper GI adenocarcinoma (e.g. gastric adenocarcinoma) - may mimic lung adenocarcinoma.
- Breast carcinoma - esp. ductal carcinoma of the breast - may mimic lung adenocarcinoma.
Images
Lung metastasis (ES) - intermed. mag.
Lung metastasis (ES) - high mag.
Lung metastasis (ES) - very high mag.
IHC
- TTF-1 -ve/+ve.
- Negative suggestive of metastasis... unless it is squamous carcinoma.
- CK20 +ve/-ve.
- Positive in colorectal carcinoma - very useful.
- Negative in lung primaries.
- GATA3 +ve/-ve.
- Usu. +ve in urothelial carcinoma.
- Negative in lung primaries.[1]
- CK7 -ve/+ve.
- Positive in lung adenocarcinoma and small carcinoma of the lung.
- Positive in a number of other tumours - breast, upper GI tract, thyroid, mesothelioma, salivary gland.
- Negative in poorly differentiated carcinoma of the lung and squamous carcinoma of the lung.
