Bronchioloalveolar carcinoma (BAC) is a form of peripheral lung adenocarcinoma growing as a single layer of malignant cells along the walls of terminal airways. The existence of BAC as a separate clinico-pathological entity has been a matter of controversy, mainly because its histogenesis is uncerta

BACKGROUND. Synchronous multiple primary lung tumors (SMPLT) have been estimated to occur in 1% of lung carcinoma patients. Criteria for SMPLT diagnosis include different cancer histologies, location in different lobes of the lung, or genetic discordance. Patients with SMPLT have a poor clinical pro
