Bronchioloalveolar carcinoma (high power)
Bronchioloalveolar carcinoma (high power)

Although a few alveoli are normal others are thickened by a covering of very abnormal neoplastic cells.
The underlying architecture of the lung is preserved.
The neoplastic cells have very prominent nucleoli, a high N:C, and very large round to oval nuclei.
