Abstract
|
|
|
Pulmonary histiocytosis X is an uncommon but important cause of pulmonary fibrosis and honeycombing in young adults. The chest radiograph of our patients shows characteristic multiple thin-walled cysts, which are most apparent in the upper and
middle
lung zones, but spare the costophrenic angles. The HRCT shows multiple thin-walled cysts and a few scattered nodules in both upper and middle lung and right lower lung and right pneumothorax. We experienced pathologically proven primary pulmonary
histiocytosis X in 30 years old male patients who had recurrent pneumothorax.
