Abstract

A case of 70-year-old male is presented. He came with weight loss, breathlessness and bronchorrhea. There was clinical and radiological evidence of right lung’s lower lobe consolidation. Cytology of sputum and bronchial secretions led to diagnosis of bronchoalveolar carcinoma, an uncommon variety of pulmonary adenocarcinomas. He died of respiratory insufficiency about 6 months after diagnosis
