چکیده
A case of a rare benign solitary pulmonary neoplasm of alveolar adenoma type in a 42-year-old man was presented. The tumor consisted of a glandular component which reacted with antibodies against cytokeratins CAM5,2, AE1-3 as well as against epithelial membrane antigen (EMA) in superficial parts of cytoplasmatic membrane, while actin and desmin were positive in the stromal component. Ultrastructurally, glandular component represented chiefly type II pneumocytes, while pneumocytes of type I occurred rarely. Stroma of the tumour consisted of myofibroblasts, fibrocytes, and collagen fibrils.

INTRODUCTION Alveolar adenomas are extremely rare, benign, primary lung tumors of unknown histogenesis that are characterized by proliferative type II alveolar epithelium and septal mesenchyma. Mostly incidental, they are clinically important as they can imitate benign primary and secondary malignant tumors and at times are difficult to differentiate from early-stage lung cancer. We describe th...
