Thickening of bronchovascular bundles is a chest CT imaging feature that can be observed in a number of entities. It has some overlap with the terms peribronchovascular interstitial thickening and peribronchovascular thickening.
Pathology
Causes
Conditions that can result in bronchovascular bundle thickening include:
-
sarcoidosis - see pulmonary manifestations of sarcoidosis 1
classical condition to give this appearance
the incidence of thickening in sarcoidosis may be inhibited by smoking 2
-
certain types of pneumonias - pneumonitis
