Erler-Zimmer GmbH & Co. KG 3D model of metastatic carcinoma:
- Model Number: MP2056
- Clinical history:
This 47-year-old woman was admitted for terminal carcinomatosis. On examination, a hard liver and a right pelvic mass were palpable. She had been suffering from constitutional symptoms for several months and finally sought medical attention. She was admitted to palliative care and died shortly thereafter. - Pathology:
The left lung is cut long to expose the cut surface. Several pale tumor nodules of varying size are scattered throughout the lung tissue. Several nodules coalesce near the hilum. Pale tumor tissue is present in the hilar lymph nodes. Small tumor nodules are visible beneath the thick lung alveolus. Histologically, these were metastatic adenocarcinoma. Postmortem examination revealed ovarian adenocarcinoma, with metastases to the lungs, heart, liver, and cardiac cortex. - Additional information:
Lung metastases are more common than primary lung cancer. Malignant disease originating anywhere in the body can spread to the lungs. Sarcomas most commonly metastasize via the circulatory system, while carcinomas spread via either the circulatory system or the lymphatic system, or both.
