Bronchioloalveolar carcinoma is a histologically distinct form of pulmonary adenocarcinoma representing an estimated 2-10 % of all primary lung cancers. Its varied appearances include focal masses, nodular patterns, and pneumonic and diffuse forms so that bronchioloalveolar carcinoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of solitary or multiple pulmonary nodules and acute or chronic alveolar diseases. In this article we describe the different radiographic manifestations of bronchioloalveolar carcinoma with particular emphasis on CT findings and those signs that may help in identifying the lesion as bronchioloalveolar carcinoma.

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.
