A case of bronchioloalveolar carcinoma of the lung is described in a 19-year-old man who had had a lobectomy in infancy, for removal of a congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation. It is suggested that congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation may predispose a patient to development of epithelial malignancies of the lung, whereas mesenchymal hamartomas usually are associated with nonepithelial neoplasms.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D008297	Male		Males
D011650	Pulmonary Alveoli	Small polyhedral outpouchings along the walls of the alveolar sacs, alveolar ducts and terminal bronchioles through the walls of which gas exchange between alveolar air and pulmonary capillary blood takes place.	Alveoli, Pulmonary,Alveolus, Pulmonary,Pulmonary Alveolus
D001984	Bronchial Neoplasms	Tumors or cancer of the BRONCHI.	Neoplasms, Bronchial,Bronchial Neoplasm,Neoplasm, Bronchial
D002282	Adenocarcinoma, Bronchiolo-Alveolar	A carcinoma derived from epithelium of terminal bronchioles, in which the neoplastic tissue extends along the alveolar walls and grows in small masses within the alveoli. Involvement may be uniformly diffuse and massive, or nodular, or lobular. The neoplastic cells are cuboidal or columnar and form papillary structures. Mucin may be demonstrated in some of the cells and in the material in the alveoli, which also includes denuded cells. Metastases in regional lymph nodes, and in even more distant sites, are known to occur, but are infrequent.

D015615	Cystic Adenomatoid Malformation of Lung, Congenital	An abnormality in lung development that is characterized by a multicystic mass resulting from an adenomatous overgrowth of the terminal BRONCHIOLES with a consequent reduction of PULMONARY ALVEOLI. This anomaly is classified into three types by the cyst size.
