*Typically an incidental finding, i.e. asymptomatic.<ref name=Ref_WMSP114>{{Ref WMSP|114}}</ref>
 
===Microscopic===
Features:<ref name=Ref_WMSP114>{{Ref WMSP|114}}</ref>
*Enlarged alveolar lining cells with:
**Hobnail morphology - free (luminal) surface area > attached/basal surface area.
**Hyperchromasia.
**Spaces are typically seen between the cells.<ref>{{Cite journal  | last1 = Travis | first1 = WD. | last2 = Brambilla | first2 = E. | last3 = Noguchi | first3 = M. | last4 = Nicholson | first4 = AG. | last5 = Geisinger | first5 = KR. | last6 = Yatabe | first6 = Y. | last7 = Beer | first7 = DG. | last8 = Powell | first8 = CA. | last9 = Riely | first9 = GJ. | title = International association for the study of lung cancer/american thoracic society/european respiratory society international multidisciplinary classification of lung adenocarcinoma. | journal = J Thorac Oncol | volume = 6 | issue = 2 | pages = 244-85 | month = Feb | year = 2011 | doi = 10.1097/JTO.0b013e318206a221 | PMID = 21252716 }}</ref>
