Bronchocentricity or bronchocentric distribution describes a process in the lungs that is adjacent to or involving the bronchi 4 (or bronchioles). The term centrilobular is commonly used for peribronchiolar disease. Because of the parallel relationship of bronchi and pulmonary arteries these processes are also related to the bronchovascular bundles (i.e. peribronchovascular) but predominate around bronchi rather than the arteries.
