Miliary Adenocarcinoma of the Lung with Lepidic Pattern: A Morphological Conundrum. Infiltrating bilateral pulmonary miliary adenocarcinoma with predominantly lepidic pattern.

چکیده
Miliary multi-focal bilateral pulmonary adenocarcinoma with lepidic predominant pattern is an unusual morphological presentation and is seen in females who are non-smokers. This gross morphology can be confused with infectious diseases, like tuberculosis, histoplasmosis or with pulmonary metastasis.

Maspin expression patterns differ in the invasive versus lepidic growth pattern of pulmonary adenocarcinoma
AIMS To test whether changes in the subcellular localization of maspin parallel morphological progression in pulmonary adenocarcinoma, we compared its expression between lepidic and invasive growth patterns. METHODS Applying immunohistochemistry, we compared maspin expression in lepidic and invasive growth patterns occurring in different tumours (series #1, n = 86) as well as within the same ...

متن کاملAggressive Cystic and Cavitary Appearances in Lung Adenocarcinoma
A 65-year-old woman visited our department due to the presence of a dry cough. On auscultation, crackles were heard predominantly in both lung bases. Chest radiography showed bilateral nodular opacities (Picture 1). Chest computed tomography showed nodules, cysts, pseudocavitations (arrowheads), and masses with cavities (Picture 2). Although septic emboli, tuberculosis, fungal infection, and cy...
متن کاملA Rare Case of Non-Small Cell Carcinoma of Lung Presenting as Miliary Mottling
Miliary mottling on chest radiography is seen in miliary tuberculosis, certain fungal infections, sarcoidosis, coal miner’s pneumoconiosis, silicosis, hemosiderosis, fibrosing alveolitis, acute extrinsic allergic alveolitis, pulmonary eosinophilic syndrome, pulmonary alveolar proteinosis, and rarely in hematogenous metastases from the primary cancers of the thyroid, kidney, trophoblasts, and so...
متن کاملInterstitial lung disease pattern turned out to be a predominantly lepidic lung adenocarcinoma
We report a case of a 46-year-old woman without any medical history who presented to our Respiratory Department with exertional dyspnoea for the last 6 weeks associated with non-productive cough. Chest radiography showed bilateral diffuse interstitial opacity. Bronchoalveolar lavage and transbronchial biopsies performed during flexible bronchoscopy as a step in the diagnostic workup of idiopath...
