BRONCHIOLO - ALVEOLAR CARCINOMA OF ΤΗΕ LUNG
Abstract
Α case of bronchiolo - alveolar carcinoma of the lung in a man 71 years old, wiιh extensive diffuse lesions in the two lungs, is described. The thought about the existence of the bronchiolo - alveolar carcinoma was made from the copious bronchorrhea. The diagnosis was enstablished by the discovery of neoplasmatic cells. The disease is reviewed briefly.References
