Core Tip
Core Tip: In terms of morphology, case 1 had no atypical cells, visible cilia, and bilayer structures in focal areas. Immunohistochemical staining for P63 and cytokeratin (CK)5/6 revealed the lack of a continuous bilayer structure in most areas, and no mutations were found in the genes detected. In case 2, most cells were medium-sized. Furthermore, local cells had atypia, and cilia were found locally. Immunohistochemical staining for P63 and CK5/6 revealed that only heteromorphic cell regions showed a bilayer structure. Human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 gene mutation was identified. Further research is needed to investigate whether these lesions can be called atypical bronchiolar adenoma and whether they are invasive precursor lesions.
