14、al types of bronchogenic carcinomas:Squamous cell carcinoma AdenocarcinomaMorphologyGrossly,pulmonary carcinoma can be classified into 3 types:central type periphery type diffuse typeThey may be from intraluminal masses;they may invade the bronchial mucosa,infiltrating longitudinally in the peribron
15、chial connective tissue;or they may form large bulky masses pushing into adjacent lung parenchyma.Squamous cell carcinoma is more common in men than in women.They tend to arise centrally in major bronchi and eventually spread to localhilar nodes.Adenocarcinoma is equally common in men and in women,a
16、nd the association with smoking is weaker than forsquamous cell carcinoma.They are usually peripherally located.These tumors grow slowly,but tend to metastasize widely at an early stage.Small cell lung carcinoma(SCLC)lack cytological origin.SCLC are more common in men than is women.They generally ap
17、pear as pale gray,centrally located mass and early involvement of the hilar and mediastinal nodes and therefore are rarely resectable.The two-year survival rate is only 5 to 8%.Histologically,SCLC are composed of small,dark,round to oval,lymphocyte-like cells that have scant cytoplasm and hyperchrom
18、atic nuclei,among which mitoses are numerous.This is the classic“oat cell”.Bronchioloalveolar carcinoma(BAC)A special type of adenocarcinoma.There are 3 variants:2.Non-Bronchogenic carcinomaHistologically,these masses consist of tall columnar cells,regularly arrayed along preserved alveolar septa or
19、 irregularly aligned along the tumors fibrovascular stroma.BAC has a better prognosis than other pulmonary carcinoma,the localized single mass has a 50 to 70%five-year survival rate,and the multifocal variant has a 20 to 25%five-year survival rate.Large cell carcinomaA group of neoplasm that lack cy
