    This study describes a rare endobronchial papillary tumor. The findings suggest these tumors are a variant of squamous carcinoma, not urothelial neoplasms.

    Area of Science:

    • Pulmonary Pathology
    • Surgical Pathology
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Endobronchial papillary tumors are rare and their classification remains debated.
    • Distinguishing between urothelial and squamous origins is crucial for accurate diagnosis and treatment.

    Observation:

    • A 75-year-old male smoker presented with an endobronchial papillary tumor.
    • Light microscopy revealed features resembling transitional cell neoplasm with cytologic malignancy and microinvasion.
    • Electron microscopy identified tonofilaments and desmosomes, but lacked urothelial-specific ultrastructural markers.

    Findings:

    • The endobronchial papillary tumor, despite light microscopic similarities to transitional cell neoplasms, lacked urothelial ultrastructural features.
    • Ultrastructural findings were consistent with squamous differentiation.

  • The case expands the spectrum of these neoplasms to include microinvasive lesions.

    • Implications:

    • Exophytic papillary endobronchial tumors should be classified as a distinct variant of squamous carcinoma.
    • This reclassification impacts diagnostic criteria and potential therapeutic strategies for these rare lung tumors.
    • Accurate pathological diagnosis is essential for patient management and prognosis in lung cancer.
