abstract = {Background: Ground glass opacity (GGO) generally associated with the lepidic component of lung adenocarcinoma. However, in some cases, GGO nodules have been associated with invasive adenocarcinomas, where a lepidic component is minimal or absent. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of non-lepidic invasive adenocarcinoma presenting as GGO nodules.
Methods: We reviewed computed tomography (CT) images from 168 patients diagnosed with non-lepidic invasive adenocarcinoma classified as stage T1N0M0 (≤3 cm) who underwent curative anatomical resection. Tumors were classified according to radiologic features: 31 were GGO predominant (Group A) and 137 were solid predominant (Group B). The clinicopathological findings and recurrence free survival were used as outcome measures.
Results: The mean percentages of micropapillary and solid component in tumor was higher in Group B than Group A (P},
