Abstract

The second edition of Histological Typing of Tumours of the Upper Respiratory Tract and Ear, in the World Health Organization series International Histological Classification of Tumours, provides a comprehensive classification of tumors and tumor-like lesions occurring in (1) the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses; (2) the nasopharynx; (3) the larynx, hypopharynx, and trachea; (4) the external ear; and (5) the middle and inner ear. The classification includes several newly recognized entities and many that were omitted from the first edition on account of their rarity. The terminology and definitions of several tumor types have been revised in the light of experience gained during the past 12 years. This article discusses the revised classification with special reference to some of the major changes in the listings, terminology, and definitions. Cancer 1993; 71:2689-97.

Abstract

The WHO Histological Classification of Lung Tumours, published in 1967, has been revised. The main features are as follows: Squamous cell carcinoma (epidermoid carcinoma) has the same definition as in the original version, i.e., the identification of keratin and/or intercellular bridges by light microscopy. Three degrees of histological differentiation are described. Dysplasia and carcinoma in situ are discussed. Small cell carcinoma is divided into oat-cell carcinoma, an intermediate cell type and a category for oat-cell carcinomas combined with other major types. Adenocarcinoma includes the acinar, papillary and bronchiolo-alveolar forms and the solid carcinomas with mucus formation (previously part of the large cell carcinoma group). Mesothelial tumours are divided into fibrous, epithelial and biphasic subtypes. A number of less common tumours and tumour-like lesions are defined.
