✅ Adenocarcinoma 🎯 • Flat sheets, acini, three-dimensional clusters, papillary groups, and single malignant cells. • Enlarged irregular nuclei with open chromatin and prominent nucleoli (often macronucleoli). • Delicate wispy to finely vacuolated cytoplasm; intracytoplasmic mucin may be present. • A common primary lung carcinoma; ancillary studies and molecular testing are often used for classification and targeted therapy selection.
