  • Differentiation of primary and secondary lun tumors is difficult due to overlapping histologic features.
  • Topography, size and form of pulmonary growth pattern are important aspects for the differential diagnosis.
  • Primary lung tumors are mainly localized in upper lobes as singular nodules, metastases in lower lobes as multiple lesions.
  • On the contarary, endobronchial primary or secondary squamous cell carcinomas findings of severe dysplasia and CIS of the bronchial epithelium are important.
  • Stroma and vascularisation pattern of primary and secondary lung tumors differ in distribution, arrangement and extracellular matrix components.
  • Pulmonary vascular changes in primary tumors are characterized by vascular infiltration, destruction and occlusion whereas in secondary tumors intravascular embolisation and extravasation predominate.

Risk Factors Topography Histology Gross Immunohistochemistry Imaging Pulmonary growth pattern Mets Other differentiating features
Xray CT PET scan
Squamous cell carcinoma Papillary
  • Cigarette smokers
  • Arsenic
  • Centrally in the mainstem
  • Exophytic and endobronchial growth.
  • Limited amount of intraepithelial spread without invasion.
  • White or grey and, depending on the severity of fibrosis
  • Firm with focal carbon pigment deposits in the centre and star-like retractions on the periphery.
  • Cavitations.
  • Intraluminal polypoid masses and / or infiltrate through the bronchial wall into the surrounding tissues
  • High molecular weight keratin (34ßE12
  • Cytokeratins (5/6)
  • Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA)
  • Low molecular weight keratin (35ßH11)
  • Thyroid transcription factor-1 (TTF-1)
  • Cytokeratin 7 (CK7)
  • In central SCC, lobar or entire lung collapse
    • Shift of the mediastinum to the ipsilateral side.
    • Central, segmental or subsegmental tumours can extend into regional lymph nodes
    • Appear as hilar, perihilar or mediastinal masses with or without lobar collapse.
  • Peripheral tumours
    • Presents as solitary pulmonary nodules (< 3 cm) or masses (> 3 cm).
    • Cavitations
    • Hilar opacities, atelectasis or peripheral masses
    • Mediastinal enlargement
    • Hemidiaphragmatic elevation
Clear cell
  • Predominantly composed of cells with clear cytoplasm.
Small cell
  • Poorly differentiated with small tumor cells
  • Focal squamous differentiation.
  • Lacks the characteristic nuclear features of small cell carcinoma.
  • Focal intercellular bridges or keratinization.
Basaloid
  • Prominent peripheral palisading of nuclei.
  • Poorly differentiated
  • Carcinomas with an extensive basaloid pattern but lacking squamous differentiation
