An example of malignant adenomatosis (alveolar cell tumour) of the lung is described occurring in a human subject. The literature is discussed and similarities to adenomatosis of sheep and some other animals are noted. These tumours appear to be true alveolar growths, and they show individually a series of stages from purely benign to highly malignant characteristics.
Six cases are described to illustrate the clinical and radiological features of diffuse h˦matogenous involvement of the lungs by secondary malignant growths. Confusion with acute phthisis is not uncommon; but the older age and infrequency of h˦moptysis, the relatively slight pyrexia, the radiological appearances in the lungs and sometimes evidence of a primary growth are distinctive features.
