Bronchioloalveolar cell carcinoma presenting as a "non-resolving consolidation" for two years.

We present a case of a middle aged female who was evaluated for a "non-resolving consolidation" for a period of two years. She had undergone an inconclusive bronchoscopy and had received several courses of antibiotics including anti-tuberculous therapy without relief. The size of the lesion had remained largely unchanged during this period and there was no significant clinical deterioration in the patient. Transbronchial biopsy done on presentation revealed BAC of the mucinous variety. BAC presenting as a large consolidation without significant change for a period of two years has rarely been documented in the literature. PMID: 26050981 [PubMed - in process]
