Fig 1 Macroscopic appearance of the cut surface of our patient’s resected mass. The mass was well circumscribed, and a single 1.2-cm polypoid excrescence projected into the lumen of a cystic cavity. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery 1999 68, 1863-1865DOI: (10.1016/S0003-4975(99)01063-2)
Fig 2 Microscopic appearance of the resected specimen showing benign squamous epithelium in continuity with basaloid tumor cells (hematoxylin and eosin; original magnification × 50). The Annals of Thoracic Surgery 1999 68, 1863-1865DOI: (10.1016/S0003-4975(99)01063-2)
Fig 3 Microscopic components of the resected specimen mainly included relatively uniform small cells. Mitotic figures were evident. The tumor cells were basaloid in appearance (hematoxylin and eosin; original magnification × 100). The Annals of Thoracic Surgery 1999 68, 1863-1865DOI: (10.1016/S0003-4975(99)01063-2)
