Abstract :
Bronchoalveolar carcinoma presenting as non-resolving consolidation is an uncommon presentation. The typical
presentation of bronchoalveolar carcinoma is asymptomatic (solitary nodule) and remains without symptoms
even as disease disseminates. We report a case of bronchoalveolar carcinoma presenting as non-resolving
consolidation in a young male with productive cough, exertional breathlessness and physical examination revealing
the features of right lower consolidation on x-ray chest, with subsequent CT of the chest and bronchoscopic
examination revealed bronchoalveolar carcinoma. Patient had a good score and was managed conservatively.
