A study of 21 patients suffering from bronchioalveolar carcinoma and 1028 comparable cases of the literature is presented. By this we gained statistical data concerning radiological and clinical manifestations of this rare tumour. However, radiological signs estimated to be typical of this carcinoma, like "rabbit ear sign" and positive "air bronchogram" are too rare to be really helpful for putting up the diagnosis. At time of diagnosis the mean age was 58 years. Men are hardly more frequently concerned than women. Smoking seems to have no aetiological significance. The most common clinical symptom was chronic cough followed by chest pain. A large amount of sputum--a symptom which sometimes has been estimated to be typical of this tumour--occurred only very rarely.
本文介绍了一项对21例细支气管肺泡癌患者以及文献中1028例可比病例的研究。通过这项研究，我们获得了有关这种罕见肿瘤的放射学和临床表现的统计数据。然而，被认为是这种癌症典型特征的放射学征象，如“兔耳征”和阳性“空气支气管造影征”非常罕见，对诊断帮助不大。诊断时的平均年龄为58岁。男性患者并不比女性更常见。吸烟似乎没有病因学意义。最常见的临床症状是慢性咳嗽，其次是胸痛。大量咳痰——一种有时被认为是这种肿瘤典型症状的症状——非常罕见。
