Bile duct adenocarcinoma with minor micropapillary component: a case report
Invasive micropapillary carcinoma (IMPC) is defined as a carcinoma composed of small clusters of tumor cells lying within clear spaces which simulate lymphovascular channels. This histologic pattern has been described in various organs, including the breast, lung, urinary bladder, ovary, stomach, pancreas, and major salivary glands. Although rarely observed as a pure histologic component, IMPC ...
متن کاملStromal micropapillary component as a novel unfavorable prognostic factor of lung adenocarcinoma
BACKGROUND Pulmonary adenocarcinomas with a micropapillary component having small papillary tufts and lacking a central fibrovascular core are thought to result in poor prognosis. However, the component consists of tumor cells often floating within alveolar spaces (aerogenous micropapillary component [AMPC]) rather than invading fibrotic stroma observed in other organs like breast (stromal inva...
متن کاملMicropapillary histology: a frequent morphology of mutation-associated lung adenocarcinoma?
Non–small cell lung carcinoma is a histologically diverse group of tumors that until recently has been treated homogeneously. As a result, pathologists recognized major classes of squamous, adenocarcinoma, and large cell carcinoma, with subclasses and variants to ensure accurate diagnosis, to identify rare subtypes, to assist pathologist communication, and to create uniformity in research despi...
متن کاملMicropapillary Mucinous Adenocarcinoma of the Lung: A Brief Case Report
In 2011, the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer/American Thoracic Society/European Respiratory Society (IASLC/ATS/ERS) classification added micropapillary predominant adenocarcinoma of the lung as a new histologic subtype and reclassified the former mucinous bronchioloalveolar carcino-ma (BAC) as a variant of invasive mucinous adenocarcinoma. 1 Recent studies regarding epide...
متن کاملLung adenocarcinoma with micropapillary component presenting with metastatic scrotum tumor and cancer-to-cancer metastasis: A case report
A 54-year-old man was admitted to the hospital presenting with a 3-month history of sclerosing dermal lesion in the external genitalia. A scrotal skin biopsy revealed a poorly-differentiated adenocarcinoma, immunohistochemically positive for cytokeratin 7 (CK7) and for thyroid transcription factor 1 (TTF-1), and negative for CK20. One month after admission, he died of respiratory failure. At au...
