1 Results of wedge resection for focal bronchioloalveolar carcinoma showing pure ground- glass attenuation on computed tomography  Shun-ichi Watanabe, MD, Toshio Watanabe, MD, Kazunori Arai, MD, Takahiko Kasai, MD, Joji Haratake, MD, Hiroshi Urayama, MD  The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  Volume 73, Issue 4, Pages (April 2002) DOI: /S (01)

2 Fig 1 Typical thin-section CT finding of focal BAC showing “pure GGA” appearance, in which vessels can be seen. GGA was defined as a hazy increased attenuation of the lung without obscuration of the underlying vascular marking. (BAC = bronchioloalveolar carcinoma; CT = computed tomography; GGA = ground-glass attenuation.) The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /S (01) )

3 Fig 2 Management schedule after detection of pure GGA lesion. When a round-shaped GGA without central scar formation was detected on thin-section CT as shown in Figure 1, repeat CT was performed 3 mo later on suspicion of focal BAC. If the tumor size had increased or was unchanged, surgery was planned because of the high probability of BAC. (BAC = bronchioloalveolar carcinoma; CT = computed tomography; GGA = ground-glass attenuation.) The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /S (01) )

4 Fig 3 (A) Surgical specimen and focal bronchioloalveolar carcinoma lesion (arrow). (B,C) Microscopic examination showing pure bronchioloalveolar growth pattern and no evidence of stromal, vascular, lymphatic, or pleural invasion (hematoxylin and eosin stain; B: ×20, C: ×400 original magnifications). The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /S (01) )
