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.
Results: Both cases showed interstitial round cells typical of SP (TTF1+, EMA+), as well as areas more typical of BA/CMPT. One case showed BRAFV600E expression in the BA/CMPT areas but not in the SP-like cells.
Conclusions: Although it is possible that these cases represent collision tumors or are examples of unusual metaplastic epithelial changes in SP, they also raise the possibility that these 2 entities could occasionally coexist in true hybrid tumors.

Bronchiolar adenoma (BA)/ciliated muconodular papillary tumor (CMPT) is a rare pulmonary neoplasm, with less than 150 cases documented in the literature. We report a unique case of BA/CMPT complicated by lymphoid interstitial pneumonia (LIP) in a 55-year-old male with Sjögren's disease. This is the first documented instance of such a comorbidity.

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.
