Radiological and histopathological findings for the different subtypes of lung adenocarcinoma. (a) High-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) scan of an adenocarcinoma in situ 8 mm in diameter with a radiologically pure ground-glass opacity (GGO) nodule. (b) Microscopic examination of the tumour in (a). (c) HRCT scan of a minimally invasive adenocarcinoma 16 mm in diameter with a radiologically mixed GGO nodule. (d) Microscopic examination of the tumour in (c). (e) HRCT scan of a papillary-predominant invasive adenocarcinoma 13 mm in diameter with a radiologically mixed GGO nodule. (f) Microscopic examination of the tumour in (e). All photographs show haematoxylin-eosin staining; original magnification ×400.
