Bronchographic Abnormalities in Alveolar Cell Carcinoma of the Lung

A New Diagnostic Sign

NORMAN ZHEUTLIN M.D.1; ELLIOTT C. LASSER M.D.1; and LEO G. RIGLER M.D., F.C.C.P.1

1 The Department of Radiology, University of Minnesota Medical School and from the Mount Sinai Hospital, Minneapolis, Minnesota.

1) A new diagnostic roentgen sign that is highly suggestive for a diagnosis of alveolar cell carcinoma has been described.

2) Bronchography in such cases presents a characteristic appearance. The bronchi are extremely narrow, uniformly distributed, rigid, filled rather than coated, while the terminal bronchi and alveoli are free of contrast.

3) Six cases exhibiting this sign are presented.
