PY - 2023 T2 - Fishman’s Pulmonary Diseases and Disorders, 6e AB - The diffuse cystic lung diseases (DCLDs) are a diverse set of disorders that share a common radiologic phenotype of thin-walled parenchymal lucencies.1 Although often grouped together with other interstitial lung diseases (ILDs), the underlying pathobiology, differential diagnosis, mode of presentation, and natural history of disease progression in DCLDs are sufficiently distinct to warrant classification of DCLDs as a separate independent entity.2 The subsequent sections of this chapter will provide an overview of the classification and differential diagnosis of DCLDs; detail the clinical, radiologic, and histopathologic features of various DCLDs; and culminate with an integrated approach toward the appropriate diagnosis and management of patients presenting with DCLD.
