  		Fig. 1B. —Noguchi [4] type A adenocarcinoma of lung in 63-year-old woman. Photomicrograph of surgical specimen shows tumor cells growing along alveolar walls (so-called lepidic growth) (arrows). Alveolar walls are mildly thickened. (H and E, x 40)

  		Fig. 2A. —Noguchi [4] type B adenocarcinoma of lung in 48-year-old man. High-resolution (1-mm collimation) CT scan obtained at level of aortic arch shows 20-mm nodule in left upper lobe. Average extent of ground-glass opacity estimated by two observers was 80%.

  		Fig. 3B. —Noguchi [4] type C adenocarcinoma of lung in 43-year-old woman. Photomicrograph of surgical specimen shows tumor consisting of foci of lepidic growth (arrows) and fibrosis and alveolar collapse (open arrows). (H and E, x 40)
