Atypical alveolar hyperplasia of the lung, also atypical adenomatous hyperplasia, is considered the precursor of lung adenocarcinoma. It is typically found beside lung adenocarcinoma in resection specimens.[1]

General

  • Generally considered the precursor lesion to adenocarcinoma in situ.[2]
  • Typically an incidental finding, i.e. asymptomatic.[3]

Microscopic

Features:[3]

  • Enlarged alveolar lining cells with:
    • Hobnail morphology - free (luminal) surface area > attached/basal surface area.
    • Hyperchromasia.
    • Spaces are typically seen between the cells.[4]
  • Limited extent:
    • <5 mm. †
