Lung Flashcards
2 Lung IHCs
TTF1+ (lung origin) Napsin A (lung adeno)
Molecular Testing
EGFR Mut and ALK rearrangement (via FISH)
Muts For Squamos Cell, Adenocarc, and SCLC
p53, K-Ras (smokers) and EGFR kinase (nonsmokers), and c-MET
Adenocarcinoma (IHC, location, sex, smoking)
Intracytoplasmic production of mucin, peripheral, equally M and F, most frequent type in non smokers
Squamos Cell (IHC, location, sex, smoking)
Keratin (although cytokeratin also in large cell) and intercellular bridges, central, males, closely correlated with smoking
SCLC (location, smoking)
Central/close to hilum, strongly associated w/ smoking
Azzopardi effect
SCLC strong invasion/spilling DNA into bvs
Most Common Lung Tumor in Children
Carcinoid
Carcinoid Appearance
Monotonous cells, very vascular
