Diffuse cystic lung diseases.
[lymphangioleiomyomatosis]
Diffuse
cystic
lung
diseases
are
uncommon
but
can
present
a
diagnostic
challenge
because
increasing
number
of
diseases
have
been
associated
with
this
presentation
.
Cyst
in
the
lung
is
defined
as
a
round
parenchymal
lucency
with
a
well-defined
thin
wall
(
<
2
mm
thickness
)
.
Focal
or
multifocal
cystic
lesions
include
blebs
,
bullae
,
pneumatoceles
,
congenital
cystic
lesions
,
traumatic
lesions
,
and
several
infectious
processes
such
as
coccidioidomycosis
,
Pneumocystis
jiroveci
pneumonia
,
and
hydatid
disease
.
"
Diffuse
"
distribution
in
the
lung
implies
involvement
of
all
lobes
.
Diffuse
lung
involvement
with
cystic
lesions
can
be
seen
in
pulmonary
lymphangioleiomyomatosis
,
pulmonary
Langerhans
'
cell
histiocytosis
,
lymphoid
interstitial
pneumonia
,
Birt-
Hogg-
Dubé
syndrome
,
amyloidosis
,
light
chain
deposition
disease
,
honeycomb
lung
associated
with
advanced
fibrosis
,
and
several
other
rare
causes
including
metastatic
disease
.
High
-resolution
computed
tomography
of
the
chest
helps
define
morphologic
features
of
the
lung
lesions
as
well
as
their
distribution
and
associated
features
such
as
intrathoracic
lymphadenopathy
.
Correlating
the
tempo
of
the
disease
process
and
clinical
context
with
chest
imaging
findings
serve
as
important
clues
to
defining
the
underlying
nature
of
the
cystic
lung
disease
and
guide
diagnostic
evaluation
as
well
as
management
.
