Bronchioloalveolar carcinoma caused severe refractory hypoxemia due to intrapulmonary shunting in a patient. Preoperative evaluation by occlusion of the pulmonary lobar artery supplying the tumor showed normalization of the arterial oxygen saturation. Resection of the involved lobe corrected the intrapulmonary shunting, and the patient required no further supplemental oxygen. However, with recurrence of the tumor over the next 6 months the patient became progressively more hypoxemic and died.

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.
