Computed tomography of the chest (A, B). A lesion was seen in the sub-branch of the lower lobe of the right lung, with a smooth surface and causing closure of the bronchial tube cavity (C). Purulent secretion was seen within the terminus of the left main bronchial tube, where the lumen showed marked stenosis and the mucosa was rough and swollen (D). Detection of two types of tumor cells. One type had abundant, strongly eosinophilic cytoplasm. The nuclei were small, eccentrically located, and intensely stained. The other type had an unclear boundary with abundant finely granular and light-pink cytoplasm. The nuclei were vesicular, and nucleoli were prominent (E, hematoxylin and eosin staining, original magnification ×400). Microscopically, the lesion showed granulomatous inflammation, necrosis, epithelioid cells, and polynucleated giant cells (F, hematoxylin and eosin staining, original magnification ×200).
