Alveolar adenoma is a rare benign tumor of the lung and is comprised of proliferative type II alveolar epithelium and septal mesenchyma. Up to date, there have been only few reports describing this disease. These tumors are normally found very incidentally during heath examination. In this study, one 40-year-old male patient was admitted to our hospital because of repeated cough and expectoration for one month. He was diagnosed with space-occupying lesion that seemed to be malignant. Later the microscopic analysis revealed an alveolar adenoma consisting of round-shaped mesenchymalcells. This patient was health after lobectomy and no recurrence was observed in the follow-up period of 26 months. To our best of knowledge, this is the first report mentioned about alveolar adenoma with round-shaped mesenchymal cells.
