Pulmonary interstitial glycogenosis (PIG) is a rare pediatric interstitial lung disease associated with alveolar growth abnormalities.
Patients may present in the neonatal period with disproportionate respiratory distress (neonatal respiratory distress).
It is histologically characterized by abundant glycogen-laden mesenchymal cells within the pulmonary interstitium 1.
Associations
Many cases show concurrent extrapulmonary comorbidities with congenital cardiac disease considered the most common of these 3.
CT chest
Features are nonspecific, including ground-glass opacification (considered most common 1), consolidation, linear opacities, and mosaic attenuation without a uniform pattern.
