  • Title: The malignancy of bronchial adenoma.
    Author: Goldstraw P, Lamb D, McCormack RJ, Walbaum PR.
    Journal: J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg; 1976 Aug; 72(2):309-14. PubMed ID: 183062.
    Abstract:
    The literature on bronchial adenoma has been reviewed and controversy found to exist about certain aspects of these tumors, particularly their malignancy. A retrospective study of 79 cases managed in Edinburgh since 1946 is presented. Seventy-one were of the carcinoid type, 7 were adenoid cystic carcinomas, and there was a single example of mucoepidermoid carcinoma. All types show a definite malignant potential, greatest in the rare mucoepidermoid tumor and least in the common carcinoid variety. Adenoid cystic carcinoma occupied an intermediate position in frequency and malignancy.
