O trabalho consta do estudo de 8 casos diagnosticados como quimiodectomas pulmonares encontrados no estudo microscópico de rotina de autópsias. Na correlação clínico-patológica destes casos observou-se um predomínio para o sexo feminino na proporção de 3:1 e uma nítida relação com doença pulmonar onde a existência de fenómenos tromboembólicos com lesões isquémicas do parênquima está presente em 50 % dos casos. O trabalho chama a atenção para a relação estreita destes tumores microscópicos com áreas de isquemia do parênquima pulmonar e considera este um factor importante para fortalecer a ideia da existência de estruturas quimiorreceptoras no pulmão, as quais sob regime de anoxia dariam origem a focos de hiperplasia e mesmo a estes tumores.
