Bronchiolar adenoma/ciliated muconodular papillary tumor is a lung neoplasm exhibiting various degrees of proximal and distal bronchiolar differentiation. Here, we evaluated distribution of MUC5AC and MUC5B in bronchiolar adenoma/ciliated muconodular papillary tumor for comparison with that seen in normal respiratory tract. In normal respiratory tract, MUC5AC was mainly distributed in large bronchi, while MUC5B was distributed in bronchi, bronchioles, and submucosal glands. In bronchiolar adenoma/ciliated muconodular papillary tumor, MUC5AC was primarily distributed in luminal cells of large airspaces, and MUC5B was distributed in luminal cells of small airspaces and mucinous glands, in addition to large airspaces, regardless of distal or proximal differentiation. In particular, MUC5B was distributed in non-mucinous club and ciliated cells in both the normal respiratory tract and bronchiolar adenoma/ciliated muconodular papillary tumor. These results indicate that MUC5AC and MUC5B distribution in bronchiolar adenoma/ciliated muconodular papillary tumor is similar to that seen in normal respiratory tract, suggestive of organoid differentiation simulating the normal lung.

Solitary pulmonary papillomas (SPPs) are rare lung neoplasms. Histologically, SPP is classified into three subtypes, and mixed squamous and glandular papilloma (MP) is the rarest subtype. Although SPPs are considered benign tumors, there have been several reports on the synchronous malignant transformation in SPPs.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aims to understand the clinical and pathological features of three cases of bronchiolar adenoma and ciliated muconodular papillary tumors by analyzing their diagnosis and treatment histories at the Second People's Hospital of Weifang City.
  • Researchers conducted a retrospective analysis, collecting data from 35 articles and 71 cases, discovering that most patients were middle-aged, with a significant number having a history of smoking, and conditions were often asymptomatic until detected through physical exams.
  • Histological examination revealed that these tumors displayed distinct patterns—such as acinar and papillary formations—characterized by specific epithelial components, while diagnosis was supported by immunohistochemical markers like p63,

Bronchiolar adenoma/ciliated muconodular papillary tumour (BA/CMPT) is a benign peripheral lung tumour composed of bilayered bronchiolar-type epithelium containing a continuous basal cell layer; however, the similarities in imaging and tissue biopsy findings at histopathology between BA/CMPT and malignant tumours, including lung adenocarcinoma, pose significant challenges in accurately diagnosing BA/CMPT preoperatively. This difficulty in differentiation often results in misdiagnosis and unnecessary overtreatment. The objective of this article is to provide a comprehensive and systematic review of BA/CMPT, encompassing its clinical manifestations, pathological basis, imaging features, and differential diagnosis.

Objectives: Bronchiolar adenoma/ciliated muconodular papillary tumor (BA/CMPT) and sclerosing pneumocytoma (SP) are both rare and morphologically unique peripheral lung tumors with indolent behavior. These tumors have not been previously described as showing overlapping morphologic features and are generally genetically distinct.

Methods: Two cases were recently encountered that show hybrid morphologic features between BA/CMPT and SP, and the morphology and immunophenotype are described in detail.
