Intravascular bronchioloalveolar tumour

Eur J Respir Dis. 1985 May;66(5):341-6.

Abstract

We report the clinical and histological characteristics of a case of intravascular bronchioloalveolar tumour, a rare multicentric pulmonary neoplasm of endothelial origin. This tumour affects predominantly women under 40 years of age and causes initially few symptoms. The disease may be found incidentally on a routine chest X ray. This tumour has a low metastasizing capacity and survival rate is quite high.
