Bronchiol-alveolar cancer

This form of lung cancer refers to highly differentiated malignant processes in which cancer cells have a ring-shaped shape with a small number of mitoses and a low tendency to polymorphism. The first description of this type of cancer refers to L. Malassez (1876). Given the macroscopic nature of the tumor, the author called it brain-like. Other specialists have encountered a similar tumor in the lungs, giving it their name: pseudopneumonic lung cancer, diffuse mucus-forming cylindrical cell carcinoma, alveolar carcinosis, highly differentiated adenocarcinoma, malignant lung
adenomatosis, etc. bronchoalveolar lung cancer occurs at any age, but most often affects people 40-60 years old. In general, this form of cancer occurs in 1-8% of cases among other lung malignancies. As with other lung malignancies, such patients have a history of intensive and prolonged smoking. During the process, benign and malignant forms are isolated. According to the morphological prevalence, bronchiol-alveolar cancer can be focal – limited and diffuse – widespread. It is believed that these are different phases of the same process.
The complaints of patients resemble those of chronic lung diseases: weakness, fatigue, exhaustion, loss of appetite and weight. Cough has a special and largely pathognomonic character. The latter is very productive in most patients (up to 70%). Sputum is characterized by a mucous-watery consistency. in the prevailing number of patients, it is foam-like in nature. Sputum is secreted, and often even pours out with a full mouth, regardless of the spatial position of the patient: in a supine, sitting or standing position. There are cases when a patient secreted up to 1.5-2 liters of sputum per day. However, it is not necessary to make this feature absolutely pathognomonic, since there are cases when the process was accompanied by the release of a small amount of sputum. Another thing is that the latter is never purulent in bronchiol-alveolar cancer. In all cases, sputum is more likely to be watery. Moreover, there is evidence that 17% of patients have no sputum at all.
Attention is drawn to the dissociation of clinical and morphological signs, according to which, when a large amount of sputum is released in the lungs, such a number of wet wheezes corresponding to the clinical course of the process are not heard.
