Atypical alveolar hyperplasia of the lung, also atypical adenomatous hyperplasia (abbreviated AAH) and atypical alveolar hyperplasia, is considered the precursor of lung adenocarcinoma. It is typically found beside lung adenocarcinoma in resection specimens.[1]

General

Microscopic

Features:[4]

  • Enlarged alveolar lining cells with:
    • Hobnail morphology - free (luminal) surface area > attached/basal surface area.
    • Round or oval nuclei.[1]
      • Nuclear hyperchromasia.
      • +/-Nuclear enlargement (mild-to-moderate).
      • +/-Multinucleation.
  • Spaces are typically seen between the cells[1] - important.
  • Limited extent:
    • <5 mm. †

IHC

  • p53 +ve/-ve (~60% of lesions +ve).[7]
  • Ki-67 variable.
    • Up to 40% in more paper[8] - typically lower (<10%[7]).
