Adenocarcinoma in situ (one of the lesions formerly known as BAC), is a localized small ([less than or equal to] 3 cm) adenocarcinoma with growth restricted to neoplastic cells along preexisting alveolar structures (lepidic growth), lacking stromal, vascular, or pleural invasion.
Lesions that meet the criteria for adenocarcinoma in situ have formerly been classified as BAC according to the strict definition of the 1999 (2) and 2004 (3) WHO classifications and as type A and B adenocarcinoma according to the 1995 Noguchi classification.
For small ([less than or equal to] 3 cm), solitary adenocarcinomas with pure lepidic growth, we recommend the term adenocarcinoma in situ, which defines patients who should have 100% disease-specific survival if the lesion is completely resected (strong recommendation, moderate-quality evidence).
