Abstract EN
Bronchioloalveolar carcinoma remains one of the most enigmatic lung cancers, demonstrating varied growth patterns, mixed histological features, and confusing clinical manifestations.
This paper reports a case of an unusual form of presentation: a sclerosing type associated with desmoplastic reaction and cicatrization.
A 75-year-old woman was admitted with persistent dry cough and progressive dyspnea.
Physical examination showed bilateral inspiratory crackles.
A chest radiograph and high-resolution computed tomography demonstrated confluent airspace nodules, forming areas of consolidation in both lungs, with signs of architectural distortion.
The lung biopsy revealed a nonmucinous sclerosing bronchioloalveolar carcinoma.
