ABSTRACT
On HRCT scans, lung cysts are characterized by rounded areas of low attenuation in the lung parenchyma and a well-defined interface with the normal adjacent lung. The most common cystic lung diseases are lymphangioleiomyomatosis, Langerhans cell histiocytosis, and lymphocytic interstitial pneumonia. In a retrospective analysis of the HRCT findings in 50 patients diagnosed with chronic paracoccidioidomycosis, we found lung cysts in 5 cases (10%), indicating that patients with paracoccidioidomycosis can present with lung cysts on HRCT scans. Therefore, paracoccidioidomycosis should be included in the differential diagnosis of cystic lung diseases. .
RESUMO
Os cistos pulmonares na TCAR são caracterizados por áreas arredondadas de baixo coeficiente de atenuação no parênquima pulmonar com uma interface bem definida com o pulmão adjacente normal. As doenças pulmonares císticas mais comuns são linfangioleiomiomatose, histiocitose de células de Langerhans e pneumonia intersticial linfocítica. Em uma análise retrospectiva de achados de TCAR em 50 pacientes com diagnóstico de paracoccidioidomicose crônica residual, observou-se a presença de cistos pulmonares em 5 casos (10%), mostrando que pacientes com paracoccidioidomicose podem apresentar cistos pulmonares na TCAR. Portanto, essa infecção deve entrar no diagnóstico diferencial das doenças císticas pulmonares. .
