- Abstract
Solitary or multiple pulmonary cysts are a relatively rare finding and should always prompt the search for an underlying cause. High-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) plays a crucial role in the differential diagnosis with morphological findings, such as cyst shape and size, wall consistency, number, distribution and localization of the cysts being the important criteria. The differentiation of diseases with multiple, diffusely distributed cysts from diseases with single or grouped cysts facilitates the definition of the final diagnosis. Associated pulmonary findings, such as nodules, ground-glass opacities and fibrosis or pleural changes also play a role. Possible underlying diseases can have systemic, inhalative, traumatic, genetic or infectious causes.
