Abstract
Over a 6 year period, three cases of pulmonary carcinoma in young men with severe bullous lung disease were seen at Washington University Medical Center. The patients did not have a long cigarette-smoking exposure. It would seem that patients with severe bullous lung disease are at a higher risk for the development of pulmonary neoplasm than the general population. Physicians should be aware of this association to expedite diagnosis and therapy.
