Abstract

Adenocarcinomas of the lung are malignant neoplasms with glandular differentiation, with or without mucin production. The most recent (1999) World Health Organization (WHO) classification of lung tumors has proposed three major categories for adenocarcinomas:

  • Adenocarcinoma

    • Acinar

    • Papillary

  • Bronchioloalveolar adenocarcinoma

    • Nonmucinous type

    • Mucinous type

  • Solid adenocarcinoma with mucin product
