ABSTRACT
Unusual lung adenocarcinoma with morule-like components is characterized by uniform, tightly packed spindle-shaped cells filling the lumens of neoplastic glandular structures. We present a case of a 78-year-old woman who presented with a part-solid ground-glass nodule in the upper lobe of the right lung. Following right upper lobectomy, histological examination revealed adenocarcinoma in-situ with multiple morule-like intra-alveolar proliferative nests of epithelial cells. Immunostaining was positive for thyroid-transcription factor 1 in the tumor cells and morule-like components. The tumor was also positive for an epidermal growth factor receptor mutation. This case provides valuable insights about lung adenocarcinoma in-situ with morule-like components.
