3D Printed Lung - Multiple Secondary Carcinoma Depisits in the Lung and Pleura
Clinical History
This 47-year old woman was admitted with terminal carcinomatosis. On
examination, a hard liver and a right pelvic mass were palpable. She had been ill with constitutional symptoms for
months and she finally sought medical attention. She was admitted for palliative care and died shortly afterwards.
Pathology
The left intact lung has multiple pale tumour nodules of varying size are scattered
throughout the lung substance. Near the hilum several nodules are confluent. The hilar lymph nodes contain pale
tumour tissue. Small tumour nodules from 2mm to 2cm can be seen beneath the thickened pleura on the costal,
mediastinal and diaphragmatic surfaces. Histologically, these were metastatic deposits of adenocarcinoma. At
post-mortem there was an adeno-carcinoma of ovary, with metastases in lungs, heart, liver and pericardium.
Further information
Pulmonary metastases are more common than primary lung cancer. Malignant
diseases arising anywhere in the body may spread to the lungs due to its rich blood supply and lymphatic drainage.
Sarcomas usually metastasize by the bloodstream, and carcinomas spread either via the bloodstream or the lymphatic
system or both.

The models are very detailed and delicate. With normal production machines you cannot realize such details like shown in these models.
The printer used is a color-plastic printer. This is the most suitable printer for these models.
The plastic material is already the best and most suitable material for these prints. (The other option would be a kind of gypsum, but this is way more fragile. You even cannot get them out of the printer without breaking them).The huge advantage of the prints is that they are very realistic as the data is coming from real human specimen. Nothing is shaped or stylized.
The users have to handle these prints with utmost care. They are not made for touching or bending any thin nerves, arteries, vessels etc. The 3D printed models should sit on a table and just rotated at the table.
