📋Overview
Cystic lung disease is a broad term describing a group of disorders characterized by the presence of multiple cysts within the lung tissue. These cysts are air-filled spaces with well-defined walls and can vary in size and distribution. The term encompasses various specific conditions such as lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM), pulmonary Langerhans cell histiocytosis (PLCH), Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome, and others. These diseases differ in cause, clinical presentation, and prognosis but share the common feature of lung cyst formation.
