The literature on bronchial adenoma has been reviewed and controversy found to exist about certain aspects of these tumors, particularly their malignancy. A retrospective study of 79 cases managed in Edinburgh since 1946 is presented. Seventy-one were of the carcinoid type, 7 were adenoid cystic carcinomas, and there was a single example of mucoepidermoid carcinoma. All types show a definite malignant potential, greatest in the rare mucoepidermoid tumor and least in the common carcinoid variety. Adenoid cystic carcinoma occupied an intermediate position in frequency and malignancy.
对支气管腺瘤的文献进行了综述，发现这些肿瘤的某些方面存在争议，尤其是它们的恶性程度。本文介绍了自1946年以来在爱丁堡处理的79例病例的回顾性研究。其中71例为类癌型，7例为腺样囊性癌，黏液表皮样癌仅1例。所有类型均显示出一定的恶性潜能，在罕见的黏液表皮样肿瘤中最大，在常见的类癌类型中最小。腺样囊性癌在发病率和恶性程度方面处于中间位置。
