Description

Cystic lung disease (CLD) is a group of lung disorder characterized by the presence of multiple cysts, defined as air-filled lucencies bordered by a thin wall. The differential diagnosis is broad ranging, from environmental exposures to rare genetic disorders. This session aims at addressing the mechanism of cyst formation, imaging characteristics, and diagnostic approaches to CLDs. The goal is to provide a practical approach for diagnostic evaluation of CLD, highlighting disorders in which the HRCT findings can be diagnostic and conditions where correlation with clinical history or biopsy is required.
