Prone HRCT through upper lobes typical of a smoker with Langerhans cell histiocytosis
Prone HRCT through the upper lobes shows the cysts (arrows) to be
larger, irregular in shape, and occupying a greater cross-sectional
area of lung. This upper lobe predominance would also be distinctly
unusual in UIP/IPF. This appearance of irregular lung cysts with an
upper lobe predominance is typical of Langerhans cell histiocytosis
in a cigarette smoker.
