A case of bronchiolo-alveolar carcinoma of the lung was studied by light and electron microscopy. Type II granular pneumocytes were seen in the lymph node metastases of the tumor, a finding not reported previously. We feel that the presence of these cells in metastatic foci indicates their neoplastic nature, and provides evidence that bronchiolo-alveolar carcinoma arises from type II cells.
对一例肺细支气管肺泡癌进行了光镜和电镜研究。在该肿瘤的淋巴结转移灶中发现了Ⅱ型颗粒性肺细胞，这一发现此前未见报道。我们认为转移灶中这些细胞的存在表明了它们的肿瘤性质，并为细支气管肺泡癌起源于Ⅱ型细胞提供了证据。
