A major type of non-small cell lung cancer, squamous cell carcinoma was for many years the leading cell type in terms of frequency. Currently, it ranks second to adenocarcinoma but remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality. As is the case with small cell cancers, squamous cell carcinomas are centrally located, near the hilum and prone to present with hemoptysis and/or early symptoms related...
A low-grade lymphoma, maltoma, represents a form of marginal zone lymphoma arising from mucosal (bronchial) associated lymphoid tissue. Maltomas may arise de novo or be preceded by autoimmune disorders of the lung. Radiographically, maltoma may present as single or multiple nodular masses involving one or both lungs. Airways are usually not affected by these tumors and are likely to remain intact,...
The high-grade non-Hodgkin lymphoma is characterized by a diffuse proliferation of large neoplastic B cells, typically showing nuclear size equal to or greater than the size of a normal macrophage. It is the second most common pulmonary lymphoma after maltoma. It occurs in a wide age range from children to adults. Patients are usually symptomatic. Grossly, the lesions are nodular in configuration...
Primarily occurring in the airways, carcinoids tumors may also arise peripherally within the lung. Their histopathologic hallmark is a growth pattern that suggests neuroendocrine differentiation (organoid, trabecular, insular, etc.). Two major variants of carcinoid tumors are recognized: typical and atypical. Some carcinoid tumors, particularly the ones that are peripherally located, may be clinically...
