[Bronchioloalveolar carcinoma in a young woman].
Bronchioloalveolar carcinoma is an infrequent malignant lung tumor, specially in patients younger than 50. Diagnosis is difficult and usually late, because its clinical and radiologic features are similar to other lung diseases and because its poor histopathologic differentiation from other primitive o metastatic adenocarcinoma. We report a case of multinodular, diffuse and bilateral bronchioloalveolar carcinoma in a young woman without previous lung disease which suspected diagnosis was by broncho-aspirated cytology and open lung biopsy was necessary for its confirmation.
