A Case of Atypical Adenomatous Hyperplasia of Larger Than 2 cm
نویسندگان
چکیده
Atypical adenomatous hyperplasia (AAH) has been considered to be a precursor lesion of bronchioloalveolar carcinoma (BAC) and pulmonary adenocarcinoma. It usually coexists with BAC and/or an adenocarcinoma. Chest computed tomography reveals multiple well-defined nodules with ground-glass opacity. Usually, AAH does not exceed 10 mm in size. AAH with extensive involvement on one side of the lung field or one that is larger than 2 cm has not been previously reported. We herein report a case of a 71-year-old nonsmoking female with lung AAH of larger than 2 cm.

Sclerosing hemangiomas (SH) of the lung are uncommon tumors and are thought to be benign. However, the biologic behavior of this tumor has not yet been characterized adequately. The clinicopathologic features were reviewed and analyzed for 16 cases of SH. The age of the patients ranged from 37 to 73 yr (mean 50.6 yr). There were fifteen female and one male patient. The SH located at the intrapa...
متن کاملAtypical adenomatous hyperplasia of the prostate mimicking adenocarcinoma lesion: case report and literature review.
The diagnosis of prostate cancer is challenging because of the existence of lesions that mimic adenocarcinoma. Such a lesion is atypical adenomatous hyperplasia (AAH) or adenosis, which represents a proliferation of crowded, small to medium glands with basal cell layer invariably present, but often inconspicuous on routine stains. The importance of the lesion lies in the potential for being mis...
متن کاملOne-dimensional mean computed tomography value evaluation of ground-glass opacity on high-resolution images
OBJECTIVE Differentiation of atypical adenomatous hyperplasia (AAH), bronchioloalveolar carcinoma (BAC), and invasive carcinoma on computed tomography (CT) is useful for determining "follow-up or resection" strategies for lesions displaying ground-glass opacity (GGO). The purpose of this study is to evaluate one-dimensional quantitative CT values of GGO on high-resolution CT (HRCT) images using...
