- Overlapping histologic features differentiation of primary and secondary tumors are difficult.
- Topography, size and form of pulmonary growth pattern are important aspects for the differential diagnosis.
- Primary lung tumors are mainly localized in upper lobes as singular nodules, metastases in lower lobes as multiple lesions.
- On the contarary, endobronchial primary or secondary squamous cell carcinomas findings of severe dysplasia and CIS of the bronchial epithelium are important.
- Stroma and vascularisation pattern of primary and secondary lung tumors differ in distribution, arrangement and extracellular matrix components.
- Pulmonary vascular changes in primary tumors are characterized by vascular infiltration, destruction and occlusion whereas in secondary tumors intravascular embolisation and extravasation predominate.
