RESUMO

Os adenomas do tipo das glândulas salivares juntamente com os papilomas são os tumores benignos que surgem ocupando o lúmen ou a parede da árvore brônquica. O adenoma alveolar e o adenoma papilar são mais frequentemente observados no parênquima periférico, embora todos estes tumores sejam muito raros e diagnosticados incidentalmente.

Apresentando-se como nódulos solitários nos adultos com mais de 45 anos, são facilmente reconhecidos pela sua morfologia, mas o adenoma alveolar é de difícil interpretação num exame intra-operatório.

Dois casos, de adenoma pleomórfico e de adenoma alveolar, são apresentados, e faz-se revisão da literatura.

ABSTRACT

Adenomas of solitary gland type together with papillomas are the true benign tumours in or arround the bronchial tree. Alveolar adenoma and papillary adenoma are more frequently observed in peripheral parenchime although this group of tumours is very rare and often incidentally diagnosed.

Presenting usually as solitary nodules in adults after 45 years, are easily recognized because of distinct morphology but alveolar adenomas may be difficult to evaluate in frozen sections.

Two cases of pleomorphic adenoma and alveolar adenoma are presented and a review of literature is made.
