This finding corresponds to the dilation and accumulation of mucus within the bronchial lumen, the so-called finger-in-glove sign.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA cavitary lesion with an air-fluid level typically indicates the presence of an abscess in the lung, and it is not specific to the bronchoceles. Ground-glass opacities are not specific to bronchoceles. Although nodular opacities in the upper lobes can be present in bronchoceles, they are not a characteristic radiological finding. A solitary pulmonary nodule refers to a single round or oval lesion in the lung which is not specific to the bronchoceles.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBronchoceles occur due to various factors, including bronchial obstruction, resulting from bronchial atresia, benign stenoses, foreign body impaction, broncholiths, and neoplasm. Additionally, bronchoceles can manifest without bronchial obstruction in diseases such as asthma, bronchiectasis associated with cystic fibrosis and infection, and allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis.\u003c/p\u003e","id":2772,"imageUrl":null,"imageAttribution":null,"imageAttributionCaseInfo":null,"firstQuestionPath":"/questions/2772","nextQuestionPath":null,"relatedArticles":[{"id":185519,"title":"Bronchocele","link":"/articles/bronchocele?lang=us"}],"alsoUsedIn":[],"stem":"\u003cp\u003eWhich of the following is a characteristic radiological finding of bronchoceles?\u003c/p\u003e","menuLinks":[{"text":"Report problem with question","url":"https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfO3soWYhOjJ7yErSysyCe5V4A1CqW7WK3rDA7MtAkecMGqNw/viewform?entry.1624461248\u0026entry.553583435=https://radiopaedia.org/questions/2772"}],"attemptsPercentages":[{"alternativeId":"13530","percentage":3},{"alternativeId":"13531","percentage":6},{"alternativeId":"13529","percentage":24},{"alternativeId":"13532","percentage":68},{"alternativeId":"13533","percentage":0}],"promptToLogin":false,"questionManager":false,"articleId":"finger-in-glove-sign-lung"}
