Fig. 1B —Adenoid cystic carcinoma in 30-year-old man (patient 1 in
Table 1). CT (B), PET
(C), and PET/CT (D) images obtained at left upper divisional

Table 1). CT (B), PET
(C), and PET/CT (D) images obtained at similar level to A

Fig. 2E —Adenoid cystic carcinoma in 45-year-old man (patient 3 in
Table 1). Gross pathologic
specimen shows firm yellow–tan tumor with infiltrative intraluminal and
extraluminal components of lesion (straight arrows) encircling
lingular divisional bronchus of left upper lobe. Also note enlarged
intrapulmonary node (curved arrow) and area of obstructive pneumonia
(arrowhead). Li = lingular divisional bronchus.

Fig. 2F —Adenoid cystic carcinoma in 45-year-old man (patient 3 in
Table 1). High-magnification
photomicrograph shows that tumor consists of solid (white arrows) and
glandular (large black arrows) areas. Solid area contains cells
having less cribriform pattern (small arrows), whereas glandular area
contains cells having more cribriform pattern (arrowheads). Also note
moderate to high cellular atypism in solid area. (H and E, x100)

Fig. 3F —Low-grade mucoepidermoid carcinoma in 63-year-old woman
(patient 10 in Table 1).
High-magnification photomicrograph shows tumor composed of mixture of glands,
cysts, and solid areas. These areas show little mitotic activity, nuclear
pleomorphism, or necrosis (low-grade malignancy). (H and E, x100)

Fig. 4A —High-grade mucoepidermoid carcinoma in 48-year-old man
(patient 6 in Table 1).
Transverse mediastinal window CT scan (5-mm section thickness) obtained at
level of right middle lobar bronchus shows mass (arrows) obliterating
lingular divisional bronchus of left upper lobe. Left lower lobe
(arrowhead) is partly atelectatic due to extraluminal extension of
tumor.
