View larger version (75K): [in this window] [in a new window]   Figure 1. A 64-year-old man who died with extensive metastatic adenocarcinoma of the lung had worked as a carpenter for the previous 25 years and had smoked cigarettes for even longer. One year before his death he was treated with local radiation and systemic chemotherapy for a second cancer, a squamous-cell carcinoma of the tongue. A specimen of the lung obtained at autopsy shows organisms typical of blastomycosis: yeast forms with thick, double-contoured cell walls and broad-based buds (periodic acid–Schiff stain, x100).
