Congenital Cystic Lung Disease

Traumatic pulmonary pseudocyst (TPP) is a rare entity that occurs following a trauma to the chest. It usually presents as multiple cystic lesions on thoracic imaging. It is treated conservatively and tends to completely resolve after few months. In the absence of striking signs of trauma such as rib fractures, TPP can be mistaken for other cystic lung diseases. We present a case of TPP in a 17-year-old male who was seen for mild hemoptysis after falling off a cliff. The extent of his right lower lobe cystic lesions along with the lack of major signs of trauma led to an incorrect diagnosis of congenital pulmonary airway malformation. The patient was considered for lobectomy, which he refused. Imaging of the chest repeated one and three years later showed complete resolution of the lesions.

Underlying Pathology

Congenital pulmonary airway malformation (CPAM) is a very rare congenital cystic lung disease in children. Frequent respiratory tract infections (RTI) are major concerns in these patients. When a child having recurrent episodis of RTI, CPAM could be the underlying pathology. Surgical excision is recommended to make a definite diagnosis and exclude hidden malignancies and is also the treatment of choice. Here in, we report a 6 months old girl presenting with an acute respiratory infection for the first time. An routine USG of abdomen incidentally showed multiple cystic lessions in the left lower lung. CT scan of chest also revealed similar lessions in some area. After receiving treatment for pneumonia surgical excision was performed and she was doing well after surgeryBangladesh J Child Health 2017; VOL 41 (2) :129-134

Light Chain Deposition

The main causes of diffuse cystic lung diseases include lymphangioleiomyomatosis, pulmonary Langerhans cell histiocytosis, Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome, lymphoid interstitial pneumonia, light chain deposition disease, <i>Pneumocystis jirovecii</i> pneumonia, hypersensitivity pneumonitis, and desquamative interstitial pneumonia. Diffuse cystic lung diseases are rarely caused by a malignant process, which are secondary to metastases from sarcomas and gastrointestinal and gynecologic adenocarcinomas. Here, we present a rare case of invasive pulmonary adenocarcinoma associated with progressive diffusion of cystic lesions, revealed by chronic cough and progressive shortness of breath. It is important for clinicians to be aware of this unusual imaging manifestation of lung cancer, to avoid misdiagnoses.

Abstract Background and objective: The purpose of this study was to create a practical CT-based algorithm to differentiate Birt-Hogg-Dubé (BHD) syndrome from other diffuse cystic lung diseases (DCLD).Methods: The study was a retrospective review of the CT images of 33 patients with BHD syndrome, 33 patients with LAM, and 23 patients with NBNL (non-BHD and non-LAM) among DCLD patients. On the basis of the data collected, the CT images were reviewed again to evaluate the characteristics (size, number, distribution, and morphology) of pulmonary cysts.Results: Lower lung-predominant cysts were more likely to be found in patients with BHD syndrome than in patients with LAM or in the NBNL DCLD group. In the axial distribution, 18 of 33 patients in BHD group had cysts that were predominantly near the mediastinum, and all the patients in the LAM and NBNL DCLD groups had diffuse cysts. The appearance of fusiform cysts was more easily observed in patients in the BHD group. In total, 58% patients in the BHD group had less than 50 lung cysts, while all patients in the non-BHD group had more than 50 lung cysts. The biggest cyst was located in the lower lobe in 28 of 33 patients in the BHD group, while 11 of 33 patients in LAM group and 10 patients in the NBNL DCLD group had the biggest cyst in the lower lobe.Conclusion: The pulmonary cysts in patients with BHD tended to be fusiform, less numerous and located predominantly in the lower lobe and near the mediastinum. These radiologic pulmonary features could assist physicians in differentiating BHD from other DCLDs.

Abstract Background and objective: The purpose of this study was to create a practical CT-based algorithm to differentiate Birt-Hogg-Dubé (BHD) syndrome from other diffuse cystic lung diseases (DCLD). Methods: The study was a retrospective review of the CT images of 18 patients with BHD syndrome, 18 patients with LAM, and 16 patients with NBNL (non-BHD and non-LAM) DCLD patients. On the basis of the data collected, the CT images were reviewed again to evaluate the characteristics (size, number, distribution, morphology) of pulmonary cysts. Results: Lower lung–predominant cysts were prone to be found in patients with BHD syndrome than in patients with LAM, but there is no difference between BHD and NBNL DCLD group. In the axial distribution, 9 of 18 patients in BHD-group had cysts predominance near the mediastinum, relatively, all the patients in the non-BHD group have diffuse cysts. The appearance of fusiform cysts was easier observed in patients of BHD group. Most patients in BHD-group had less than 50 lung cysts, while all patients in non-BHD group had more than 50 lung cysts. The maximum cyst located in the lower lobe in 16 of 18 patients in BHD-group, while 6 of 18 patients in LAM group and 8 patients in NBNL DCLD group had the maximum cyst in the lower lobe. Conclusion: The pulmonary cysts in patients with BHD tend to be fusiform, less numerous, and have a predominance in the lower lobe and near the mediastinum. These radiologic pulmonary features could assist physicians differentiating BHD from other DCLDs.

Eosinophilic lung diseases are a rare group of lung disorders with multiple known and unknown aetiologies and the diagnosis is often challenging. We present a case of a young man who was admitted with pneumonia due to methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus and was discharged on antibiotics. He presented to the emergency department approximately 2 weeks after discharge with high-grade fever, cough and shortness of breath associated with serum and bronchoalveolar lavage eosinophilia. He was then treated with steroids with complete resolution of disease process.

Mucinous Neoplasms

Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs) are benign cystic lesions of the pancreas with recognised premalignant potential. An occasional feature of IPMNs is fistula formation to surrounding organs. This report describes a case of a pancreaticogastric fistula from a main duct IPMN that produced the complete resolution of the patient’s symptoms.
