Discriminating bronchiolar adenoma from peripheral lung cancer by thin-section computed tomography (CT): a 2-center study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Bronchiolar adenoma (BA) is frequently misdiagnosed as peripheral lung cancer (PLC) because it resembles PLC. Computed tomography (CT) examination is an effective tool for detecting and diagnosing lung diseases. To date, there has been no comprehensive study on the differential diagnosis of BAs and PLCs using thin-section computed tomography (TSCT) based on a large sample, and the efficiency of CT in diagnosing BAs has not been verified. The goal of this study was to distinguish BA from PLC by summarizing their clinical and TSCT characteristics.

Methods

A retrospective cross-sectional study on 71 cases with BAs and 218 matched controls with PLCs (from March 2020 to May 2023) within 2 centers (The First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University and the Se
