[Contribution to retrospective roentgenographic follow-up of solitary pulmonary nodules (author's transl)]. 1976

A Baudrexl

The diagnostic problems of malignant solitary pulmonary nodules are demonstrated in 5 cases with a roentgenographic history of many years. The slow growth rate of adenocarcinoma and alveolar cell carcinoma--mainly in woman--and the possibility of a scar tissue carcinoma has to be considered. Peripheral pulmonary nodules in adult persons suspicious of carcinoma must be verified histologically, even if their growth rate is very slow and their roentgenographic history lasts many years. If this is not possible a thoracotomy should be performed.

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.
