Cancer Case Report Posters ISESSION TYPE: Case Report PosterPRESENTED ON: Sunday, March 23, 2014 at 01:15 PM - 02:15 PMINTRODUCTION: The WHO considers BAC as a subtype of adenocarcinoma (1).accounts for 6.5% of pulmonary neoplasias. Its incidence in Spain it is 3%, and in the US it is 3-24%, according to the series(2). Because of its clinical, radiological and histological presentation are variable, we report the case with a subacute clinical presentation and a diffuse cavitated reticulonodular pattern. ⋯ The variable radiological presentation of BAC makes the diagnosis challenging, and sometimes delays the final diagnosis. Therefore, BAC must be considered in patients with cavitated reticulonodular infiltratesReference #1: International association for the study of lung cancer/american thoracic society/european respiratory society international multidisciplinary classification of lung adenocarcinoma .Thorac Oncol. 2011 Feb;6(2):244-85Reference #2: The epidemiology of bronchoalveolar carcinoma over past two decades, analysis of the SEER database Lung cancer 2004; 45:137- 42Reference #3: The IASLC Lung Cancer Staging Project: proposals for the revision of the TNM stage groupings in the forthcoming edition of the TNM Classification of malignant tumours.

Pulmonary Vascular Disease CasesSESSION TYPE: Case ReportsPRESENTED ON: Saturday, March 22, 2014 at 04:15 PM - 05:15 PMINTRODUCTION: Thromboembolic events including pulmonary embolism (PE) are known to occur in association with advanced stages of lung cancer. Known cancer is a risk factor for development of venous thromboembolism, including PE. However, when a patient without known cancer presents with acute PE, cancer as a potential cause of PE may not always be explored. We present a case of acute PE, later found to have adenocarcinoma of lung with metastasis. ⋯ The following authors have nothing to disclose: Viral Patel, Abhay Vakil, Mehul Rooparelia, Kelly Cervellione, Samir SarkarNo Product/Research Disclosure Information.
