Figure 2. Autopsy findings of the right lower lobe of the lung. (A) Gross appearance. The tumor was well- to partly ill-demarcated and irregularly shaped with massive hemorrhage (arrowhead). (B–E) Histological examination of the right S6 mass specimens revealed an extensive necrotic area (* in B) with a component of the solid area with rhabdoid cells, characterized by large cells with eccentrically located nuclei, prominent nucleoli, abundant eosinophilic cytoplasm, and large paranuclear intracytoplasmic inclusions († in B, C). The tumor also had a component of non-mucinous adenocarcinoma with focal intracytoplasmic mucin (‡ in B, D). (E) A continuum of changes from adenocarcinoma (‡) to the solid area with rhabdoid cells (†). B: 15×; C: 400×; D, E: 200× magnification. Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) stain.
