PURPOSE Adenocarcinoma with bronchioloalveolar carcinoma (BAC) features is a subtype of non-small cell lung cancers characterized by an intense inflammatory reaction composed of macrophages and neutrophils and by a distinct natural history with intrapulmonary spread leading to death due to respiratory failure. We hypothesized that neutrophils could promote aerogenous spread of lung adenocarcino...

  Bronchiolo-alveolar carcinoma with subcutaneous chest wall metastasis is a very rare presentation. A case of 36- year-old male with metastatic subcutaneous chest nodule of bronchiolo-alveolar carcinoma, diagnosed by fine needle aspiration cytology, is reported here. Cutaneous metastases are of diagnostic importance because they may be the first manifestation of an undiscovered internal malig...

Two primary tumours, squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue and multiple bronchioloalveolar carcinomas, were diagnosed in a Virginia opossum (Didelphis virginiana). Two oral masses were located in the right ventrolateral surface of the tongue, near the frenulum, and the lungs contained multiple, widely distributed, nodular masses. Microscopically, the oral masses were composed of invasive cords ...

In 2011,mucinous bronchioloalveolar carcinoma was reclassified as invasive mucinous adenocarcinoma, mucinous adenocarcinoma in situ,and mucinous minimally invasive adenocarcinoma.A part of the invasive mucinous adenocarcinoma of the lung differentiates to gastric mucous cells, and we term this type of carcinoma gastric-like invasive mucinous adenocarcinoma.However,treatment approaches have not ...

Sixty-six replacing growth-type early lung adenocarcinomas, measuring 2 cm or less across their greatest dimension, were used to investigate allelic losses at eight loci on the eight chromosomes carrying the principal cancer-associated genes. In total, 2 (16.7%) of 12 type A tumors (localized bronchioloalveolar carcinoma, LBAC) and 11 (39.3%) of 28 type B tumors (LBAC with alveolar collapse), w...
