Bronchioloalveolar carcinomas (n = 45), intravascular bronchiolo-alveolar tumors (n = 8), and sclerosing hemangiomas of the lung (n = 2) were stained for surfactant apoprotein by the immunoperoxidase method. Of the bronchiolo-alveolar carcinomas, 12 were found to be carcinomas of type II pneumocytes and the remaining 33 tumors were designated as nontype II pneumocytic bronchiolo-alveolar carcinomas. Twenty-five of these tumors displayed trapped benign type II pneumocytes within the tumor masses. In the case of intravascular bronchioloalveolar tumors, none of the tumors demonstrated staining of tumor cells for surfactant apoprotein. In the two cases of sclerosing hemangiomas, the type II pneumocytes were exuberant and numerous, and in one case contained intranuclear inclusions of surfactant apoprotein. This article discusses the implication of the presence of benign type II pneumocytes in pulmonary tumors.

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
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.

D018219 Histiocytoma, Benign Fibrous A benign tumor composed, wholly or in part, of cells with the morphologic characteristics of HISTIOCYTES and with various fibroblastic components. Fibrous histiocytomas can occur anywhere in the body. When they occur in the skin, they are called dermatofibromas or sclerosing hemangiomas.
