Abstract

Bronchioloalveolar carcinoma accounts for less than 6% of all primary lung cancer but has distinct clinical feature and unusual pathologic appearance. A primary lung cancer which can produce a cavity was almostly squamous cell carcinoma and cavity formation was rare in bronchioloalveolar cell carcinoma We experienced a case of lung abscess secondary to bronchioloalveolar carcinoma in a 36-year-old female patient who was admitted due to chest tightness for 4 months. Right middle lobectomy was performed successfully and she became well after lobectomy.
