Toshiro Niki11Division of Integrative Pathology, Department of Pathology, Jichi Medical University, Japan
In the pathological diagnosis of lung cancer, macroscopic findings are as important as microscopic findings. The macroscopic view of tumors largely corresponds to their histologic architecture; it is also reflected in radiographic and other tumor images. In this article, the characteristics of various histologic types of lung cancer are reviewed, with emphasis on their histologic architectures. Neoplastic lesions and tumor-forming lesions that may be involved in the differential diagnosis of lung cancer were briefly reviewed.
key words: Lung cancer, Macroscopic view, Histologic typing, Pathology, Differential diagnosis
