==General== | |||
*Rare. | |||
==Microscopic== | |||
Features: | |||
*Macrophages within the air spaces. | |||
*Enlarged alveolar lining cells with: | |||
**Hobnail morphology - free (luminal) surface area > attached/basal surface area. | |||
**Round or oval nuclei. | |||
DDx: | |||
*[[Atypical adenomatous hyperplasia of the lung]] - usu. do not have macrophages within the air spaces. | |||
