Cystic Lung Disease
📋Overview
Cystic Lung Disease involves the formation of well-defined, air-filled spaces that can vary in size and distribution across the lungs. These cysts are a common feature of several clinically distinct disorders, which may arise from different underlying causes.
This group of conditions includes specific entities such as lymphangioleiomyomatosis, pulmonary Langerhans cell histiocytosis, and Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome. Although these diseases share structural similarities in lung tissue, they are differentiated by their unique biological characteristics and clinical presentations.
