Abstract:
:Pulmonary endodermal tumor resembling fetal lung describes an uncommon neoplasm of the lung which also has been referred to as pulmonary blastoma and adenocarcinoma of fetal lung type. We describe five cases which fall within a narrow band on the spectrum of pulmonary neoplasms with both epithelial and mesenchymal features. These five cases all occurred as well-defined masses visible on chest radiograph in middle-aged females, and were treated by surgical excision. Histopathologically, low and high grades of malignancy are found. Well-formed racimose glands with cytoplasmic vacuolization resemble endometrioid carcinoma. Neoplastic columnar cells have abundant glycogen in the cytoplasm. Morules of cells within the glands have optically clear nuclei. Ultrastructurally, the optically clear nuclei are occupied by a filamentous substructure of chromatin. Multiple neuroendocrine hormones are present in low-grade malignancy. Nuclear pleomorphism, lymphatic invasion, multifocal necrosis, lack of mesenchyme at the pulmonary interface, and restricted neuroendocrine expression suggest high-grade malignancy. A mesenchymal stroma surrounding the glands is an intrinsic part of the neoplasm, but the stroma does not appear malignant, and did not form part of the metastasis in the single case where a metastasis occurred. Stromal cells show fibroblastic and myofibroblastic differentiation. Pulmonary endodermal tumor resembling fetal lung typically is a low-grade malignancy, with a better prognosis than the majority of lesions sometimes described as pulmonary blastoma or adenocarcinoma of fetal lung type.
