Alveolar adenoma of the lung is a poorly characterized, uncommon pulmonary lesion with proliferation of alveolar epithelium and septal mesenchyme. We describe the electron microscopy, immunohistochemistry and DNA flow cytometry in a case of alveolar adenoma in a 55-year-old woman. Alveolar adenoma appears to be a distinct benign neoplasm of the alveolar structures. Our findings further suggest that it is not a precursor of bronchioloalveolar carcinoma or other type II pneumocyte lesions of presumed malignant potential. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
