Fig. 2 Photomicrograph of a “rapid pap” stain demonstrating adenocarcinoma. Mucinous cytoplasm, large nuclei, and abundant nucleoli are seen. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery , DOI: ( /S (97) )

Fig. 3 Upper thoracic computed axial tomograph demonstrates a spiculated left upper lobe nodule adjacent to emphysematous bullae. Preoperative percutaneous fine-needle aspiration was not performed because of the risk of pneumothorax. Intraoperative thoracoscopic fine-needle aspiration yielded poorly differentiated non–small cell lung cancer. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery , DOI: ( /S (97) )
