Purpose: Bronchiolar adenoma (BA) is a rare benign pulmonary neoplasm originating from the bronchial mucosal epithelium and mimics lung adenocarcinoma (LAC) both radiographically and microscopically. This study aimed to develop a nomogram for distinguishing BA from LAC by integrating clinical characteristics and artificial intelligence (AI)-derived histogram parameters across two medical centers.

Methods: This retrospective study included 215 patients with diagnoses confirmed by postoperative pathology from two medical centers.

A 29-year-old Asian female initially underwent a lumpectomy for a right breast mass diagnosed as a phyllodes tumor on histopathology.

We present the case of a 79-year-old ex-smoker in whom transthoracic needle biopsy revealed histological features suggestive of lung ADC. However, surgical resection of the lesion later demonstrated only AAH.
