Fine-needle aspiration biopsy of a peripheral lung mass in a 44-yr-old man revealed a papillary tumor. Histologic examination of the mass, removed by lobectomy, demonstrated a pulmonary carcinoid tumor with papillary structure. Most papillary tumors of the lung are malignant. Pulmonary carcinoid and pulmonary sclerosing hemangioma--benign tumors--have papillary variants. Both have been described in fine-needle aspiration specimens and should be included in the differential diagnosis of papillary lung tumors. The cytologic features of pulmonary carcinoid are described.
对一名44岁男性周围型肺肿块进行细针穿刺活检，结果显示为乳头状肿瘤。通过肺叶切除术切除的肿块组织学检查显示为具有乳头状结构的肺类癌肿瘤。大多数肺乳头状肿瘤是恶性的。肺类癌和肺硬化性血管瘤（良性肿瘤）有乳头状变异型。两者均已在细针穿刺标本中有所描述，在乳头状肺肿瘤的鉴别诊断中应予以考虑。本文描述了肺类癌的细胞学特征。
