what is the most frequently diagnosed major cancer and most common cause of cancer mortality worldwide
lung cancer
what is the most common type of lung cancer
adenocarcinoma - a type of non-small cell lung cancer
what is the second most common type of lung cancer
squamous cell carcinoma - a type of non-small cell lung cancer
which type of lung cancer tends to be more peripheral
adenocarcinoma
which type of lung cancer tends to be more central
squamous cell carcinoma
what is mucoviscidosis
cystic fibrosis - disorder of iron transport that leads to viscous secretions that cause obstructions in the lung
what is the most common lethal genetic disease that affects Caucasians
mucoviscidosis (aka cystic fibrosis)
what are the four types of emphysema
centriacinar
panacinar
paraseptal
irregular
which type of emphysema is most common (smokers)
centriacinar
what is bulbous emphysema
emphysema that includes large sub-pleural blebs near apex of lung
what is idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
progressive interstitial pulmonary fibrosis and respiratory failure
grossly shows a cobblestone pleural surface
which condition has a cobblestone pleural surface and honeycomb pattern radiologically
idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
what is the difference between emphysema and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
emphysema: enlargement of airspaces
IPF: fibrosis destroys airspaces
what is emphysema
irreversible enlargement of the airspaces distal to the terminal bronchiole
what are three examples of pneumoconiosis
anthracosis
silicosis
asbestosis
what is the most prevalent chronic occupational disease in the world
silicosis
what can asbestos cause
mesothelioma
what is sarcoidosis
granulomatous disease which leads to bilateral hilarity lymphadenopathy, parenchymal lung involvement, and granulomas (multinucleated giant cells)
what is the leading cause of death worldwide
tuberculosis
HIV infection is associated with an increase risk of _______
TB
what is a Ghon complex
parenchymal lung lesion and nodal involvement caused by TB
which chemical is most commonly used to disinfect from TB
bleach
“coin lesions” are associated with which condition
hamartomas
what are the two main subtypes of lung adenocarcinoma
mucinous vs non-mucinous
what are the 5 basic histologic patterns of non-mucinous lung adenocarcinoma
acinar
papillary
micropapillary
lepidic
solid
what is the lepidic variant of lung adenocarcinoma
cells appear to be crawling as they’re growing along the surface of the alveolar septa
what is large cell carcinoma
a type of non-small cell lung cancer that is diagnosis by exclusion
what is small cell carcinoma
includes neuroendocrine tumors and carcinoids
usually adjacent to bronchi
should you weigh a lung specimen
yes, before it has been fixed
which ink color should you avoid with lung specimens
black because it may look like anthracotic pigment
lung wedges are most commonly which type of cancer
adenocarcinoma since it is mostly peripheral
which sections should you submit in a lung wedge specimen
mass
mass to nearest margin
shave of margin
mass to pleura
normal
what is an important measurement in a lung specimen
bronchus measurement to show if its patent
how should you open a lung for squamous cell
along open bronchial airway
how should you open a lung for adenocarcinoma
serially section, longest axis of tumor
what sections should you submit for a lobectomy
bronchovascular/hilar margin
mass
mass to pleura
mass to bronchus
mass to normal
normal
all lymph nodes
what is the most important factor when staging lung cancer
tumor size
which stage involves the pleura
T2 and above
