The phrase "alveolar pattern of" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to linguistics, phonetics, or medical descriptions, particularly when discussing sounds produced with the tongue against the alveolar ridge or patterns observed in alveolar structures.
Example: "The study focused on the alveolar pattern of speech sounds in various dialects."
Alternatives: "alveolar configuration of" or "alveolar structure of".
However, morphological assessment of lung carcinomas has revealed that they may be subdivided into angiogenic and relatively non-angiogenic tumours (Pezzella et al, 1997); the latter co-opt pre-existing vasculature to support an alveolar pattern of growth.
Third, non-angiogenic NSCLCs (Pezzella et al, 1997) that show an alveolar pattern of growth may metastasize, and do not merely co-opt existing vasculature in the brain, but instead develop a more angiogenic phenotype with haphazardly arranged vessels.
Thoracic radiographs showed a multifocal to coalescing bronchial and alveolar pattern and enlargement of tracheobronchial lymph nodes.
The tumor histology revealed an alveolar pattern with nests of neoplastic cells surrounded by vascularized connective tissue septa, and no vascular or capsular invasion was found.
In addition, the areas of alveolar pattern suggested either focal pneumonia or compression atelectasis of the lung tissue.
These patterns include the solid pattern, composed of large nests of closely packed but non-cohesive cells separated by thin vascular channels, the alveolar pattern characterized by clusters of 20 cells arranged in round nests separated by small amounts of stroma, and the pleomorphic pattern composed of cells showing a higher degree of nuclear atypia and more mitotic figures [ 23].
Proliferating cells with weak basophilic cytoplasm and oval densely stained nuclei arranged in an alveolar pattern, similar to the findings of the initial resection paraganglioma specimen, were observed.
The presence of a diffuse alveolar pattern with Kerley A, B, C linear shadows denotes other causes such as veno-occlusive disease of the lung, mitral valve stenosis or cardiogenic pulmonary oedema [ 78].
The chest radiographs consistently showed extensive pulmonary infiltrates (median Murray score 3; IQR 2 to 4), and 80% of cases showed an alveolar pattern.
Microscopically, the lesion consisted of tumor cells growing in an alveolar pattern, separated by struma, and endowed with prominent sinusoid-like vessels.
Radiographs of the thorax showed a bilateral caudodorsal alveolar pattern.
