Overview

Classification

Adenocarcinomas are highly heterogeneous tumors. Several major histological subtypes are currently recognized by the WHO[1] and IASLC/ATS/ERS[2][3][4]

In as many as 80% of tumors that are extensively sampled, components of more than one of these subtypes will be recognized. In such cases, resected tumors should be classified by comprehensive histological subtyping. Using increments of 5% to describe the amount of each subtype present, the predominant subtype is used to classify the whole tumor.[5] The predominant subtype is prognostic for survival after complete resection.[6]

Signet ring and clear cell adenocarcinoma are no longer histological subtypes, but rather cytological features that can occur in tumour cells of multiple histological subtypes, most often solid adenocarcinoma.[2]

Some variants are not clearly recognized by the WHO and IASLC/ATS/ERS classification:

2004 WHO classification

  • Mixed subtype
  • Acinar
  • Papillary
  • Bronchioloalveolar carcinoma
  • Non mucinous
  • Mucinous
  • Mixed
  • Solid adenocarcinoma
  • Colloid
  • Fetal
  • Mucinous cystadenocarcinoma
  • Signet-ring
  • Clear-cell
