BACKGROUND: This study aimed to investigate the radiological, pathological, and prognostic characteristics of large consolidative-type pulmonary invasive mucinous adenocarcinomas (IMA).

METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed 738 patients who confirmed IMA between January 2010 and August 2022, and two radiologists reviewed imaging data to determine subtypes. We included 41 patients with pathologically large consolidative-type IMA. We analyzed their radiological, pathological, and prognostic characteristics. The recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) were determined using the Kaplan-Meier method.

RESULTS: Most lesions were located in the lower lobe, with 46.3% patients showing multiple lesions. Halo, angiogram, vacuole, air bronchogram, and dead branch sign were observed in 97.6%, 73.2%, 63.4%, 61.0%, and 61.0% of the cases, respectively. Unevenly low enhancement was observed in 88.89% of patients. T3 and T4 pathological stages were observed in 50.0% and 30.6% of patients, respectively. Lymph node metastasis was observed in 16.7% patients, with no distant metastasis. Spread-through air spaces and intrapulmonary dissemination were observed in 27.8% and 19.4% patients, respectively. Moreover, Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene mutations were found in 68.6% of cases, and no epidermal growth factor receptor mutations were seen. Among all mutation sites, G12V mutation is the most common, accounting for 40%. The average RFS and OS were 19.4 and 66.4 months, respectively, with 3-year RFS and OS rates of 30.0% and 75.0%, respectively. Pleural invasion and lymph node metastasis were independent risk factors for diagnosis.

CONCLUSION: Halo, vacuole, angiogram, and dead branch signs were frequently observed in consolidative-type IMA. Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene mutations are common in consolidative-type IMA, especially site G12V, whereas epidermal growth factor receptor mutations were rare; therefore, gene immunotherapy was more difficult. Most patients were in stage T3-T4; however, lymph node metastasis was rare.
