Bronchoalveolar pulmonary carcinoma (BAC) is a type of adenocarcinoma with an increasing frequency. Because BAC rarely metastasize outside the thorax, the postoperative results are good. We present 28 patients with BAC, operated in the clinic for a period of 7 years--12 patients with an infiltrative form of BAC, 16 patients with nodular form 12 patients underwent lobectomy, 15 patients--pneumonectomy, and 1 patient--bilobectomy. The 5-years-survival rate is 50%. We found a better 5-years survival rate for the patients with BAC in comparison with the other histological types of non-small cell pulmonary carcinoma
