Body
was changed:
Lymphocytic interstitial pneumonitis (LIP) is uncommon and is seen mainly in patients with autoimmune disease and AIDS patients.
Differential diagnosis
General imaging differential considerations includeDiseases with lung cysts including:
-
lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM)
- occur in younger females
- cysts are generally uniformly distributed throughout the lungs
-
Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH)
- males usually smokers
- bizarre cysts that spare the costophrenic angles
- small ill defined stellate nodules in centrilobular location
- upper lung zone predominant
