This lung section is from an individual with small cell carcinoma, a fast-growing type of lung cancer. Small cell lung cancer is typically caused by smoking or chronic exposure to secondhand smoke. In this individual, a large tumor and pus invaded the structures of the lung. The cancer metastasized (spread) to other organs.
