      Background:
      Clinical significance of 2015 WHO classification histological subtype of early-stage lung adenocarcinoma (LADC) has been well documented; the incidence and significance of histological subtypes in autologous metastatic tumors is unknown.

      Methods:
      Histological subtyping was performed on paired primary and metastatic LADC tumor samples from patients who underwent resection of metastases (N=203, 1996-2012). 57 cases with inadequate tumor specimen and 4 cases diagnosed as local recurrence were excluded.

      Results:
      Location of metastatic sites were – brain 51 (35.9%), lung 48 (33.8%), lymph node 14 (9.9%), pleura 10 (7.0%), and adrenal gland 5 (3.5%). Metastatic tumors demonstrated more frequent solid histological pattern than primary tumors (first predominance: 51% vs. 24%; second predominance 29% vs. 17%, Figure 1). Among all histological subtypes, solid subtype showed the highest concordance between primary and metastatic tumors (Figure 2). In addition, analysis of all available clinicopathological factors showed significantly higher percentage of solid subtype in both primary and metastatic tumors was observed in patients with smoking history (p=0.003 and p=0.004, respectively).

      Conclusion:
      Analysis of a large cohort of primary and autologous metastatic LADC tumors demonstrated a higher percentage of solid histological pattern metastases, even in cancers with a low solid component in the primary site of disease. Figure 1Figure 2
