Transudate
Transudate is extravascular fluid with low protein content and a low specific gravity (< 1.012)
Adnocarcinoma
Most common, more Females none smoker, EGFR, KRAS, ALK mutations, location: peripheral, hist: Glands and mucine
SCC
30%, Smoker, TP53 CDKNZA, mutation, paraneoplastic: PTHrP, located: centrally, histo: Spinosom: Desmosomes (intracellular bridges), keratin whorls/pearls
Small cell carcinoma
15%, TP53 RB mutation, smokers,
Paraneoplastic: SIADH=decreased Na+, or Antibodies agianst presynatic Ca2+, ACTH=cushungs
location: centrally, Hist: small cells (kulchitsky cells—> small dark blue cells, chromogranin A, synaptophysin
Large cell
highly undiff. tumor
Hist: huge cells: Pleomorphic giant cells/Anaplastic cell with allot of cyplasm
Brochial carcinoid
carcinoid sy.: flushing, wheezing, valve fibrosis and diarrhea
Hist: well organized
trabecula/ nest of neuroendocrine cells
low mito. rate
Mesothelioma
associ. abestos, location pleural thickining
histo: (Psammoma bodis), calretinin
Lung cancer
complications
and metastases
complications: SPHERE Sup. vena cava Pancoast tumor Honer syndrome Endocrine (paraneoplastic) Recurrent laryngeal nerve compression (horseness) Effusion
Metastases:
Love Affecting BONEheads and BRAINcs
Liver, Adrenal, Bone, Brain
Tumors that metas. to the lung are: Breast, Colon, Postate and bladder
Pancoast tumor
superio sulcus tumor. Carcinoma that appears at the apex of the lung. causes pancoast sy. by invading/ compressing local structures
causing:
hoarseness,
horner syn. (stellate ganglion), SVC syndrome, brachiochephalic sy.,
brachial plexus sy.
SVC
obstruction of the SVC impairs blood draininge frpm the head (facial plethora), jug. venous dist., upper edema
cause: malignancy (mediast. mass, pancoast tumor
Emergency: can cause ICP increase—-> headaches, dizziness, increased risk of aneurism/ rapture of the intracraneal arteries
