1 Neoplasms of the LUNG and PLEURA FCDS Educational Webcast Series Steven Peace, BS, CTR September 19, Focus o Anatomy o SSS 2000 o MPH Rules o AJCC TNM 1 Case 1 Case Vignette HISTORY: 65 year old black male admitted with chest pain, cough, hoarseness and partial vocal cord paralysis. Hx of 1ppd smoker x 50yrs CHEST X-RAY: 7.5cm mass noted in right mainstem bronchus CT CHEST: 7.5cm mass right mainstem bronchus with supraclavicular node. CT-GUIDED CORE BX RIGHT LUNG TUMOR MASS: Poorly differentiated squamous cell carcinoma. p63 and CK5 positive, Napsin and TTF1 neg - c/w squamous cell carcinoma of lung origin. (positive immunohistochemistry for p63 and CK5 supports the diagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma. Negative immunohistochemistry for Napsin and TTF-1 argues against adenocarcinoma.) ULTRASOUND-GUIDED CORE BX SUPRACLAVICULAR MASS: positive for metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of pulmonary origin. FINAL DX: Biopsy-proven unresectable squamous cell carcinoma of right lung with vocal cord paralysis and positive supraclavicular lymph node on FNA. 2 1
2 Case 1 QUESTIONS 3 Case 1 Answer & Rationale 4 2
3 Case 2 Case Vignette HISTORY: 70-year-old female developed right pleural effusion in January of Thoracentesis with bloody pleural fluid. Cytology showed no tumor cells. Patient was admitted and found to have a right pleural effusion with a pleural based mass and these were biopsied. Preliminary diagnosis between adenocarcinoma or mesothelioma. Pathology will do a TTF-1 and if positive, then more likely this is lung primary. If TTF-1 is negative, then we will have to make sure there is no other primary source of pleural effusion. She is a nonsmoker. Secondary smoke exposure - husband and father. CT CHEST/ABD/PELVIS: nonspecific hilar and mediastinal lymph nodes. Soft tissue mass in RLL lung size 3.5 x 2.5cm. Extensive abnormal right pleural thickening with large right pleural effusion. Abdomen and pelvis neg PROCEDURE: Mini Thoracotomy with VATS wedge resection RLL lung. RLL LUNG WEDGE RESECTION: moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma typical of lung primary with extensive visceral pleural invasion. TTF1 and CK7 positive and CK20 negative. This type of lung adenocarcinoma is sometimes referred to as pseudomesotheliomatous adenocarcinoma. FINAL DX: Adenocarcinoma of lung, right lower lobe, stage IV. 5 Case 2 QUESTIONS 6 3
4 Case 2 Answer & Rationale 7 Case 3 Case Vignette HISTORY: 61 yr old Vietnamese man, smoker, with lung mass noted on CT. He has had repeated bouts of bronchopneumonia treated with antibiotics. He complains of shortness of breath, 15 pound weight loss, and mental status change. Admitted for workup and start of treatment. CT CHEST/ABD/PELVIS: Large mass obstructing right upper lobe lung measuring at least 6cm with large mediastinal mass 5cm x 6cm in size. Large right-sided pleural effusion noted. Multiple cysts noted in liver. MRI BRAIN: Diffuse 4 th ventricle involvement with large cerebellar mass BRONCHOSCOPY WITH BIOPSY: right upper lobe lung tumor, biopsy with small cell neuroendocrine (oat cell) carcinoma. CK7 +, Chromogranin + with SY38 positive consistent with small cell carcinoma of lung origin. THORACENTESIS: pleural fluid + for malignant cells 8 4
5 Case 3 QUESTIONS 9 Case 3 Answer & Rationale 10 5
6 Case 4 Case Vignette HISTORY: 55 yr old white female, non-smoker, with lung mass seen on routine chest x-ray. No clinical symptoms or complaints. Admitted for workup and surgical treatment for left upper lobe lung cancer. CT CHEST: 3cm tumor in left upper lobe lung no lymphadenopathy. FNA LEFT LUNG TUMOR: non small cell carcinoma, favor adenocarcinoma VATS WEDGE RESECTION LUL LUNG WITH NODE SAMPLING: moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma 2.5 x 2.8cm in size, wedge resection, with no involvement of surgical margins. 3 hilar lymph nodes sampled, 1 node with micrometastasis noted on IHC. 11 Case 4 QUESTIONS 12 6
7 Case 4 Answer & Rationale 13 Case 5 Case Vignette HISTORY: 59 year old white male firefighter with recently diagnosed unresectable mesothelioma of lung. Seen in ER then admitted with chest pain and shortness of breath prior to starting chemotherapy. Overall patient status is quite poor. Patient was discharged to hospice. 14 7
