Abstract
Bronchoalveolar carcinoma
presenting as non-resolving consolidation is an uncommon presentation. The typical
presentation of bronchoalveolar carcinoma is asymptomatic (solitary nodule) and
remains without symptoms even as disease disseminates. We report a case of
bronchoalveolar carcinoma presenting as non-resolving consolidation in a young
male with productive cough, exertional breathlessness and physical examination
revealing the features of right lower consolidation on x-ray chest, with
subsequent CT of the chest and bronchoscopic examination revealed
bronchoalveolar carcinoma. Patient had good score and was managed
conservatively.
