Fig 1 (A) Bronchoscopic findings demonstrated that the tumor was occupying most of the tracheal lumen. (B) Some parts of the tumor were cauterized with the neodymium:yttrium–aluminum garnet laser. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery 2003 76, 944-946DOI: (10.1016/S0003-4975(03)00137-1)
Fig 2 (A) This tumor was rich in capillaries and small vessels with a single layer of endothelium and dense spindle-shaped tumor cells that proliferated around blood vessels in hematoxylin & eosin stain. (B) A silver stain showed the individual tumor cells surrounded by reticular fibers. The tumor cells were clearly positive for (C) vimentin and (D) collagen type IV (all stains, original magnification ×400).
