Cancer Case Report Posters ISESSION TYPE: Case Report PosterPRESENTED ON: Sunday, March 23, 2014 at 01:15 PM - 02:15 PMINTRODUCTION: The WHO considers BAC as a subtype of adenocarcinoma (1).accounts for 6.5% of pulmonary neoplasias. Its incidence in Spain it is 3%, and in the US it is 3-24%, according to the series(2).
