Case of the month ~ September 2007
FNA thoracic nodule, 60-year old female, BAC and papillary adenocarcinoma











The cytology images show malignant cells with many intranuclear cytoplasmic pseudovacuoles, suggesting an adenocarcinoma of papillary type, and the CT images suggest a mixed BAC pattern, with the ground glass opacification with a solid component. The surgical specimen showed a papillary adenocarcinoma with a bronchoalveolar carcinoma (BAC) component.
