context cystic fibrosis (cf) is the most widespread autosomal recessive genetic disorder that limits life expectation amongst the caucasian population. as the median survival has increased related to early multidisciplinary intervention, other manifestations of cf have emergedespecially for the broad spectrum of hepatobiliary involvement. the present study reviews the existing literature on liv...

TOPIC: Diffuse Lung Disease TYPE: Fellow Case Reports INTRODUCTION: It has been well established that marijuana smoking is associated with cystic lung disease. We bring forth a case of vaping THC containing product and was disease which partially reversed after full cessation vaping. CASE PRESENTATION: A 20 y/o Caucasian male no medical history presented for evaluation his abnormal CT chest. He...

INTRODUCTION Light chain deposition disease is a rare clinical entity characterized by deposition of monoclonal immunoglobulin light chains in organs. The kidneys are almost always affected, while the lung manifestations that have been reported, including nodular or diffuse disease, especially cystic lesions, are unusual. CASE REPORT We report the case of a 60-year-old man with a diffuse infi...

Systemic therapy for salivary gland carcinoma (SGC) is indicated recurrent and/or metastatic (RM) disease. The background, goals of therapy, organ function, symptomatic or a symptomatic, and histopathology should be considered in each case. Adenoid cystic with only lung metastasis often progresses slowly many cases are followed up without whereas duct carcinoma, adenocarcinoma NOS, adenoid mult...

1. linear and reticular opacities; 2. multiple nodules and nodular opacities; 3. parenchymal opacification, including consolidation and ground-glass opacity; 4. air-filled cystic lesions, including lung cysts, cystic lung disease, emphysema, and dilated bronchi (bronchiectasis); and 5. decreased lung attenuation, including mosaic perfusion, mosaic attenuation, and air trapping on expiratory sca...

OBJECTIVE This article will illustrate and describe the spectrum of diseases associated with air cysts at high-resolution CT (HRCT). CONCLUSION HRCT is an important modality in the evaluation of interstitial lung disease to include cystic lung disease. Although most commonly associated with lymphangioleiomyomatosis or Langerhans cell histiocytosis, cystic lung disease is increasingly being re...

Mycobacterial lung disease is caused by nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM), also known as atypical mycobacteria. NTM are widely distributed in the environment, particularly in soil and water. Although generally of low pathogenicity to humans, NTM can affect patients with underlying chronic lung diseases, such as cystic fibrosis, bronchiectasis, pneumoconiosis, or healed tuberculosis. Some patien...

hydatid disease, caused by larval stage of echinococcus granulosus, is a common parasitic infection of human and animal. although liver and lung are the most commonly affected area, hydatid cyst may develop any part of the body. primary subcutaneous hydatid cyst is extremely rare. we report a case of 54 years old man who presented with palpable mass in scapular region from 3 years ago. present ...

A 15-year-old previously healthy boy was involved in a traffic accident and presented to our emergency department (ED) with complaints of chest pain and mild shortness of breath. On physical examination, he had complained for the last 2 hours of the right hemithorax pain in the fifth intercostal space radiating to the right midaxillary line. He had no past medical or surgical history. Chest xra...

A t the basic level, we know the genetic cause of cystic fibrosis: it is an autosomal recessive disease caused by mutations in the gene encoding the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR).1,2 At the clinical level, we know that chronic bacterial airway infection, prominent neutrophilic inflammation and mucus in airways, and progressive bronchiectasis characterize advanced cy...
