Abstract

Invasive adenocarcinoma of the lung can be classified histologically as: Lepidic, Acinar, Papillary, Micropapillary and Solid patterns with mucin production. Papillary adenocarcinoma (PA) is diagnosed histologically when >75% of the neoplasm contains papillary architecture supported by fibrovascular cores. This subtype comprises about 7.4-12% of pulmonary adenocarcinomas. Many papillary subtypes of lung adenocarcinoma have their own cytogenetic abnormalities, prognosis, and demands specific treatment modalities. We present a case of localized PA and discuss the histology, diagnostic considerations, cytogenetics, treatment, and prognosis.
