Bronchioloalveolar cell carcinoma (BAC) has a varied appearance on CT that often leads to an incorrect or delayed diagnosis. The purpose of this pictorial review is to define common CT characteristics that are specific to BAC. A retrospective review was undertaken of 20 CT scans of pathologically proven cases of BAC; tumours were categorized as focal or diffuse, single or multiple, and infiltrative or well defined.

Bronchioalveolar cell carcinomas (BACs), a subset of primary lung adenocarcinomas, are uncommon. Histologically, they are a diverse group of malignancies. The diagnosis is restricted to adenocarcinomas that grow in a lepidic manner and that have no stromal, vascular, or pleural invasion.

Objective: As bronchioloalveolar carcinoma (BAC) is noninvasive but, in its later stages, has a worse prognosis than adenocarcinoma with bronchioloalveolar features (ACB), early identification and differentiation is important for therapeutic and prognostic purposes. We wanted to identify features of BAC, which differentiated it from ACB when both presented as ground-glass opacities (GGOs) on CT.
Materials And Methods: We reviewed all pathologic specimens of patients who were diagnosed with BAC and ACB in the lung from 1991 to 1999 in our institution and whose malignancy presented as a GGO on CT.
