چکیده

OBJECTIVE Originally used to describe the macroscopic appearance of various pathologic processes with multiple cysts, honeycomb lung is now the term used to describe endstage pulmonary fibrosis. The purpose of this article is to discuss the history and imaging of honeycomb lung. CONCLUSION Honeycomb lung is considered one of the important CT findings in usual interstitial pneumonia. An additional challenge for radiologists is that different pathologic processes can mimic honeycomb lung. Therefore, a precise understanding of honeycomb lung is necessary.

The pathology of honeycomb lung.

A form of cystic lung, characterized by numerous, widespread and usually small cavities, is a wellrecognized though apparently uncommon condition, which, according to earlier accounts, occurred especially in children (Sharkey, 1894; Tooth, 1897; Fletcher, 1901; Bernstein, 1905). Such lungs were described by Fowler and Godlee (1898) as having a worm-eaten or honeycomb appearance. Sharkey and Fle...
