Abstract

This chapter has been updated according to the newly proposed classification of lung carcinomas and its application to small biopsies and cytology specimens which provides uniform terminology and criteria for diagnosing subtypes of lung carcinomas, specifically adenocarcinomas and poorly differentiated carcinomas.

Cytopathologic features of squamous cell carcinomas and pre-squamous lesions, adenocarcinomas, large cell carcinoma, small cell carcinoma, neuroendocrine neoplasms, and salivary gland-like tumors are presented, and their differential diagnoses are discussed.
