...Even after publication of the 1999 and 2004 WHO classifications,4,5 the former term BAC continues to be used for a broad spectrum of tumors including (1) solitary small noninvasive peripheral lung tumors with a 100% 5-year survival,46 (2) invasive adenocarcinomas with minimal invasion that have approximately 100% 5-year survival,47,48 (3) mixed subtype invasive adenocarcinomas,49 –53 (4) mucinous and nonmucinous subtypes of tumors formerly known as BAC,50 –52,54,55 and (5) widespread advanced disease with a very low survival rate....

...In the 2004 WHO classification, large cell carcinoma included several variants such as LCNEC, basaloid carcinoma, lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma, clear cell carcinoma, and large cell carcinoma with rhabdoid phenotype.(3) In addition, in the 2004 WHO Classification, there was no role for immunohistochemistry using adenocarcinoma or squamous markers in assessing these tumors....

...In 2011, a new IASLC/ATS/ERS classification of lung adenocarcinoma proposed significant changes to the 2004 WHO classification for resected tumors including (1) discontinuing the terms bronchioloalveolar carcinoma (BAC) and mixed subtype adenocarcinoma; (2) the addition of AIS as a preinvasive lesion to join atypical adenomatous hyperplasia; (3) addition of MIA, (4) classification of invasive adenocarcinomas according to the predominant subtype after comprehensive histologic subtyping by semiquantitatively estimating the percentage of the various subtypes present in 5% increments; (5) use of the term “lepidic” for a noninvasive component (previously classified as BAC) present as part of an invasive adenocarcinoma; (6) introducing the term “invasive mucinous adenocarcinoma” for adenocarcinomas formerly classified as mucinous BAC, excluding tumors that meet criteria for AIS or MIA; (7) discontinuing the subtypes of clear cell and signet ring adenocarcinoma and recognizing these as a feature when any amount is present, however small; (8) discontinuing the term mucinous cystadenocarcinoma and including these under the category of colloid adenocarcinoma.(3,7,11,40) Subsequent to the 2011 IASLC/ATS/ERS lung adenocarcinoma classification and with the development of the 2015 WHO classification, it was decided to classify tumors formerly called large cell carcinomas that have pneumocyte marker expression (i....
