Abstract
Background: An alveolar adenoma is a benign lung lesion that presents as a solitary pulmonary nodule. Only a few reports have been published on this disease, which is typically diagnosed by wedge resection.
Case presentation: We present a 39 year old woman with multiple co-morbidities with an incidental pulmonary alveolar adenoma that was diagnosed utilizing a CT-guided biopsy, she then suffered a rare complication necessitating ICU admission.
Conclusion: We report the rare case of a diagnosis based on a Computed Tomography (CT)-guided biopsy.
