title: [Alveolar adenoma: a rare peripheral pulmonary tumor].
abstract: Alveolar adenoma was first described in 1986. It is a benign peripheral lung neoplasm present more frequently in middle-aged woman. We report a new case occurring in 52 year-old woman. We describe histopathological and immunohistochemical characteristics. Then, this observation is compared with the 11 cases previously published. Finally, we try to understand its origin.
