Bronchial Adenoma
Alternate Names : Adenocarcinoma of the Bronchus, Bronchial Carcinoid Tumors, Bronchial Gland Tumors, Cancer - Bronchial Adenoma, Mucous Gland Adenoma
Definition A bronchial adenoma is a glandular tumor in the trachea or large bronchi (the large airways of the lung) that usually causes obstruction of the airway. Although the term bronchial adenoma classically refers to a benign tumor of the airway, also known as a mucous gland adenoma, it is often misapplied to malignant tumors such as carcinomas and carcinoids of the airways.
