4.1.2 Make Every Eort toRestore theLung toIts InVivo State
Prepare the inated-xed lung by formalin injection. In some institutions, injection is carried out through the bronchial stump, but ination is easier if injection is performed from the pleural side. If the bronchial stump is open, clamping it with Pean forceps or another hemostatic clamp or suturing it closed prevents formalin leakage and speeds up ination. Even if an incision has been made to take a sample from the fresh speci­men, given sufcient time, good ination can be achieved. Make a small hole in a plastic intravenous (IV) drip bag to hold the formalin, hook up several parallel IV routes, and attach a pink (18G) needle to the end of each route (Fig.4.2, left).
Make sure the IV clamp is closed. Fill the IV bag with formalin, and hang it from a suitable hook. In our hospi­tal, we use a laundry pole hanger and a hook made from a wire hanger. The lling pressure is determined by the dif­ference in height between the IV bag and the specimen, but as Spencer’s Pathology of the Lung states that this should be 2–3ft [1], there is no need to worry too much about the height in regular lung cancer diagnosis. Place the excised lung inside a large clear plastic bag, insert the pink needle via the pleural surface at a point away from the lesion, and open the clamp (Fig.4.2). If the ow rate is poor, insert the pink needles slightly less deeply, in which case, to begin with, each of the secondary lobules visible on the surface of the lung can be seen to swell up one by one. Gather up the top of the plastic bag, being careful not to dislodge the pink needles, and use a large (st-sized) plastic clip to clip it to a vertical pole or simi-
lung. The arrow shows the estimated position of the mass. This is a different patient from the case illustrated in Fig. gures. It is the excised lung of the case illustrated in Fig. subsequent gures

lar object to minimize the irritating smell of formalin. The plastic bag and its contents can be placed in a large kidney basin or similar container to keep it stable. Once the lung has inated sufciently, remove the routes without con­taminating your hands, tie up the plastic bag, and store it as it is. Some formalin will always leak inside the plastic bag, and if the amount is small, more must be added as necessary to immerse the entire specimen. In our hospital, we hang up the plastic bag and its contents for storage, placing a large container underneath so that, even if it falls, the formalin will not contaminate a wide area. The storage location and equipment used should be adapted as required.
4.2 Cutting Out
4.2.1 Overall Observation andPhotography
If an air extraction system is not available, use of a forma­lin mask is essential. Take another look at the bronchial stump, and envision the course of the involved bronchus or bronchi within the excised lung. If you are unsure, check whether or not a particular route leads to the lesion by carefully inserting a surgical probe while you envision the direction of branching. In some cases, it may be help­ful to make a small longitudinal incision in the lobe/seg­ment bronchial wall where the involved bronchus is located (Fig.4.3). For peripheral lesions, unless the bron­chial stump is destroyed, there may be little effect on sub­sequent pathological testing.

4.2.2 Make anIncision
Make an incision perpendicular to the bronchus that is believed to have been involved, that is, the bronchus through which the ultrasound probe was passed (Fig.4.4). If the staple line at the interlobular margin coincides with the extension of the incision, the knife will immediately stop cutting; in this case, resect the staple line with scissors before using the knife (in specimens obtained from partial resection by video­assisted thoracoscopic surgery, stapling may have crushed the main lesion, in which case resect and preserve the staple line before xation [2]). To slice it properly, place the initial cut face down on a stand, and use the thickness of the grip of a special knife to produce slices of equal thickness. When cut­ting slices perpendicular to the airway, there is no chance of destroying areas of pleural invasion, but if incisions are being made parallel to the axis of the involved bronchus in order to expose its length, this may involve incising the area of great­est pleural invasion on gross examination. When I started sur­gical training, I was told to avoid this [ proper to avoid it to enable accurate pathological diagnosis.

4.2.3 Spread OuttheCut Slices
oftheSpecimen andPhotograph theCut Surfaces (Fig.4.5)
If the involved bronchus runs in the direction of the long axis of the body, the cut surfaces will coincide with the horizontal plane on computed tomography (CT), making the connections between the target vessels relatively easy to identify. However, this is frequently not the case, making it difcult to identify the target vessels. In either event, the cut surfaces must be care­fully lined up in the right order. If they cannot easily be explained later by the doctor who photographed them, no one will be able to understand them. An overall view and close-up photographs are generally taken, but the opposite side (reverse surface) should also be recorded. Cut surfaces of interest should be photographed not only from the front but also from various different angles and from the side to give a three­dimensional picture. If a structure could be either a blood ves­sel or a bronchus, this can be distinguished by its hardness when touched with forceps or a nger. Some things can only be learned by taking part in the cutting-out process.

slices than this, reconstruction may be difcult in the pathol­ogy department, and the former shape of the lung must be carefully reproduced in an orderly fashion. Needle sutures can be placed at three or so points where no lesion is thought to be present (Fig. 4.6). Findings must be described in as much detail as possible on the pathology slip, and, if neces­sary, these may be submitted with representative photo­graphs attached.
Case 1. Male in 70s. Chief Complaint: Left Lung Nodule
Medical history: In October 2009, the patient underwent low anterior resection for advanced rectal carcinoma. In 2012, a nodule was identied in the left upper lobe, and this was kept under observation. In December 2013, it was seen to have grown, and bronchoscopy was performed, but since it was inconclusive, he underwent EBUS-GS in our hospital in late January 2014. Rectal carcinoma metastasis was diagnosed, and he underwent upper left lobectomy in the hospital where

he was previously treated.
Imaging ndings: A small nodule measuring 13mm × 9mm This task can basically only be carried out on the computer screen. It involves comparing ndings and structures of interest on EBUS images to see how well they correspond with macrophotographs of the specimen. In addition to the cancer tissue, the position of accompanying blood vessels, the positional relationships between the involved bronchus (the branch through which the probe is believed to have

Bronchoscopy ndings: A thin bronchoscope with a
4-mm-diameter tip was used to examine the bronchi as far as the opening of left B3b. Edematous stenosis was present, and an ultrasound probe was inserted (Fig.4.8).

proximal part of the tumor interior, part of the tumor could be seen via the PA, but the lesion was not clearly visible in the vicinity of the bronchus containing the probe (Fig.4.9: 3-B). Since the pulsing PA was also visible inside the tumor in the lesion around the bronchus (Fig.4.9: 3-C), a biopsy was taken by angling the bronchoscope away from the PA using its up/down angle (Fig.4.9).
Pathology results: The histological type was similar to that of rectal carcinoma, and lung metastasis was diagnosed.
Comparison: Starting with Fig.4.9, orthogonal multipla­nar reconstruction (MPR) images of left B3b generated from CT images were consistent with the view from the broncho­scope. In this patient, they corresponded to the sagittal view from the median side. B3b was accompanied by a pulmonary artery on the cranial side and was obstructed partway down. The corresponding images isolated by EBUS, the corre­sponding cut surfaces from the xed specimen, and the cor­responding hematoxylin-eosin (HE)-stained macro images are shown in each row.
The bifurcation peripheral to left B3b could not be observed bronchoscopically, but B3bi and B3bii could be seen on the cut surface of the tissue. In Fig.4.10, the left branch con­taining mucus and the right branch containing an organized substance corresponded to B3bi and B3bii, respectively. Although the stenosis of B3b prevented the observation of more peripheral bronchi in this case, a positional compari­son of the EBUS images and tissue ndings and the biopsy artifacts in tissues described below suggested that the probe must have entered the right branch (B3bii). In Fig.4.11, the tissue structures visible in each slice are labeled “Tumor,” “PA,” “Br1,” “Br2,” and “Mucus Lake” for the purpose of comparison. High-power observations conrmed the absence of cancer cells in the airways of both Br1 and Br2 at the proximal level of the tumor in Fig.4.11. In the central part of the tumor in Fig.4.12, Br2 was located on the tumor margin, but there was no tumor exposure in the lumen. However, Br1 had disappeared. For ease of reference, we divided the tumor into three parts, following the direction of

the PA, and called them Tumors A, B, and C. Figure4.13 corresponds to the peripheral side of the main lesion. As shown in Fig.4.14, on close observation of Tumor B, which seemed to be on the line of extension of Br1, the cancer ducts were split and broken, and this was a biopsy artifact. An examination of the biopsy tissue indicated that the speci­men, which included an alveolar area, was sampled from a region away from the PA, as shown in Fig.4.15. The biopsy was performed by angling the bronchoscope away from the PA.These ndings and others suggested that the biopsy was performed properly by entering Br1 (B3bii in this case) and using a direction that avoided the PA. As can be seen by comparison with Fig.4.16, EBUS may enable the detailed structure of the tumor interior to be distinguished. In Figs.4.10 and 4.11, Br2 contained only mucus, but organi­zation with squamous metaplasia was visible in Br1. If this is an expression of the difference in the time elapsed since the development of airway stenosis or occlusion by the tumor, it is extremely interesting.
Identication of the bronchi involved in pulmonary periph­eral lesions is the most important and interesting preparatory task in bronchoscopy. The bronchial branching morphology from the center to the periphery is inferred/predicted from CT, and a hand-drawn branching map is completed.

mental bronchi are anatomically consistent, but the smaller branches vary widely between individuals. Of course, this means that even the routes of involved bronchi differ from person to person. For this reason, it is worth mapping the branches. Having the computer draw virtual bronchoscopy images for use in a navigation system is useful, but it may not be possible for the ne peripheral bronchi to be drawn auto­matically, and if they have to be produced manually in the navigation system, this is the same as drawing them visually from CT images. Is it still unclear whether the branch map of the peripheral branches that could not be observed broncho­scopically is correct? The easiest way to answer this question is to cut along the airways and open them up when investigat­ing the resected specimen.
Do only bronchi that are endoscopically observable con­stitute the landmarks on the way to the lesion? When a ne ultrasound probe is used, the outer surface of the probe usu­ally adheres to the bronchial wall in areas peripheral to the subsegmental bronchi, enabling the visualization of struc­tures on the other side of the wall [4]. Not only the bronchi
but also their accompanying pulmonary arteries may pro­vide extremely useful landmarks on the way to the lesion.
In the next case, the specimen was cut out along the air­way axis to identify peripheral airway branching that could not be observed by bronchoscopy.
