Alveolar adenoma of the lung is a rare benign lung neoplasm. This report details its radiographic and histologic features, emphasizing its role in diagnosing solitary pulmonary masses.

Area of Science:

  • Pulmonology
  • Oncology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Alveolar adenoma is a rare, benign lung neoplasm characterized by the proliferation of alveolar epithelium and septal mesenchyme.
  • It typically presents as an incidental finding of a solitary mass on chest roentgenograms.

Observation:

  • This case report describes a patient with an alveolar adenoma of the lung.
  • The report details the specific histologic and radiographic features observed in this unusual tumor.

Findings:

  • The radiographic appearance of alveolar adenoma can mimic other pulmonary masses.
  • Histologic examination reveals a distinct proliferation pattern of alveolar epithelium and supporting mesenchymal tissue.

Implications:

Related Experiment Videos

  • Alveolar adenoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of solitary pulmonary nodules, particularly in older, asymptomatic individuals.
  • Accurate diagnosis relies on integrating radiographic findings with detailed histopathologic analysis.
