HRCT and pathological characteristics of a 55-year-old female patient with papillary-predominant adenocarcinoma. a CT image showed mGGN in the right lower lobe with spiculation, pleural indentation (black arrow) and bubble-like lucency (white arrow). The maximum diameter of GGN (Dmax) was measured. b CT image showed that the maximum diameter of solid component (Smax) was measured by adjusting window level and the window width (WL: -160HU; WD: 2HU). CTR = 47.5% (Smax/Dmax; 13.5 mm/28.4 mm). c Photomicrograph of histopathologic specimen showed a papillary pattern (black arrow) with cuboidal tumor cells growing along the surface of fibrovascular cores. Pulmonary vein was seen (white arrow). (Hematoxylin-eosin stain; original magnification, × 100)
