Asbestosis • Diffuse pulmonary
interstitial fibrosis + asbestos
bodies (golden brown, fusiform
or beaded rods with a translucent
center and consist of asbestos
fibers coated with an iron-
containing proteinaceous
material)

• Ferruginous bodies – other

inorganic particulates coated with
similar iron-protein complexes

• Pleural plaques – most

common manifestation; well-
circumscribed plaques of dense
collagen that are often calcified.

[BRONCHIOLOALVEOLAR CARCINOMA, MUCINOUS]. Bronchioloalveolar
carcinoma (BAC) is a type of adenocarcinoma that grows along alveolar septae. Two
main subtypes are recognized: mucinous and non-mucinous. This mucinous type
BAC shows normal alveoli on the upper left corner and BAC on the right lower
corner. Radiographically BAC may present as consolidation mimicking pneumonia
and thus may evade correct identification.
