SMARCA4/BRG1-deficient lung adenocarcinoma (SD-LUAD) is being recognized as a distinct subtype based on subtle differences in its clinical, morphological, and immunophenotypic attributes compared to other non-small cell lung carcinomas. We present here a case of SD-LUAD with curious thyroid transcription factor 1 (TTF1) expression in a morphologically heterogenous lung adenocarcinoma. The better differentiated area showed preservation of TTF1 expression, and a poorly differentiated tumor had loss of TTF1 expression with universal BRG1 loss.
与其他非小细胞肺癌相比,SMARCA4/BRG1缺陷型肺腺癌(SD-LUAD)因其临床、形态学和免疫表型特征的细微差异而被视为一种独特的亚型。我们在此报告一例SD-LUAD病例,该病例为形态学异质性肺腺癌,伴有甲状腺转录因子1(TTF1)表达异常。分化较好的区域保留了TTF1表达,而低分化肿瘤则出现TTF1表达缺失及BRG1普遍缺失。
