3 Fig 2 (A) Histology specimens show smooth muscle proliferation around slit-like spaces lined by pneumocytes. Intraalveolar respiratory macrophages are also seen (hematoxylin-eosin stain, original magnification ×200). (B) Clefts are lined by respiratory-type epithelium (hematoxylin-eosin stain, original magnification ×200). (C) Immunohistochemistry shows thyroid transcription factor-1 positivity in the alveolar-like space lining (original magnification ×200). (D) Strong positivity for desmin in the spindle cell proliferation (original magnification ×100).
