[Broncho-alveolar cancer. Contribution toward a further clinical classification].
The incidence of alveolar bronchiole carcinoma in 1665 histologically verified cases of lung cancer is referred to on the basis of autoptic observations made at the San Luigi Gonzaga Hospital of Orbassano between 1973 and 1979. In agreement with the most recent reviews of the question, a net increase in the absolute values of this form of cancer was confirmed. Reviewing the personal series, stress is laid on the problems of clinico-nosological classification of a.b.c. which, although defined by its peculiar histological expression, presents diagnostic and interpretative problems that are not easy to solve.
