Clinicopathological Characteristics and Prognosis Analysis of Lung Carcinoma With p40/TTF1 Coexpression and Lung Adenosquamous Carcinoma: Lung Carcinoma With p40/TTF1 Coexpression Is a Rare Tumor With High Metastatic Potential.
Background. Lung carcinoma with p40/TTF1 coexpression (LC-PTC) is a very rare tumor with poor prognosis, and few cases have been reported to date. Objectives. To better understand biological behavior and prognosis of LC-PTC. Methods. We collected 9 examples of LC-PTC and compared them with 36 lung adenosquamous carcinomas during the same period in clinicopathologic characteristics, biologic behaviour, and prognosis. Results. Lung carcinoma with p40/TTF1 coexpression mainly occurred in middle-aged and elderly men; 8 tumors belonged to the peripheral type, and 1 belonged to the central type. The rates of lymph node and distant metastasis were 88% (7/8) and 50% (4/8), respectively; 2 patients died during follow-up. Histologically, the LC-PTC showed nest-like growth pattern without glandular growth pattern; the surface of 2 tumors was covered with ciliated columnar epithelium and tumor cells grew under the columnar epithelium. In all patients, tumor cells diffusely coexpressed p40 and TTF1. Although there was no significant difference in the maximum diameter of tumor with lymph node metastasis or with distant metastasis between LC-PTC and lung adenosquamous carcinoma, LC-PTC had a higher rate of lymph node metastasis and distant metastasis. There was no significant difference in overall survival of patients between LC-PTC and lung adenosquamous carcinoma. Additional histologic evaluation of normal pulmonary structures revealed that p40/TTF1 coexpression cells existed in bronchial mucosa and the number of cells coexpressing p40/TTF1 increased gradually from proximal bronchus to distal bronchus. Conclusions. Lung carcinoma with p40/TTF1 coexpression is a rare tumor with high metastatic potential and may originate from p40/TTF1 coexpression cells in distal bronchial mucosa.
