Lung adenocarcinoma Path Report

CLINICAL HISTORY: Probable right upper lobe lung adenocarcinoma.

SPECIMEN: Lung, right upper lobe resection.

GROSS DESCRIPTION: Specimen is received fresh for frozen section, labeled with the patient’s identification and "Right upper lobe lung". It consists of one lobectomy specimen measuring 16.1 x 10.6 x
4.5.cm. The specimen is covered by a smooth, pink-tan and gray pleural surface which is largely unremarkable. Sectioning reveals a round, ill-defined, firm, tan-gray mucoid mass.

The tumor grossly appears to abut, but not invade through, the visceral pleura, and the overlying pleura is puckered.
