Thoracic CT Findings in Birt-Hogg-Dubé Syndrome

Abstract

Discrete thin-walled cysts in patients with Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome are more numerous and larger in the lower lobes and vary in size and shape. Large lung cysts are frequently multiseptated. These features may aid in differentiating Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome from other more common cystic lung diseases.
