2 Figure 1 Chest CT imaging (A) 3 years before and (B) on admission showing multiple thin-walled cysts and small nodules (arrows). The size of the cysts was variable. The cystic lesions progressed in number, size, and wall thickness. No ground-glass opacities were seen. Inserts show higher magnifications of the cysts in right lower lobe.

3 Figure 2 A, Diffuse deposits of amorphous eosinophilic materials in the peripheral lung and pleural regions with accompanying emphysematous cystic lesions (arrow) and nodular deposition (arrowheads) (H&E staining, panoramic view). B, Deposited materials in the pleural region (H&E staining, medium magnification). C, Highly magnified image of a nodular region of deposits (H&E staining). D and E, Deposits that are negative for Congo red staining (the serial sections to B and C, respectively). F, A deposit that is positive for kappa light chain immunostaining. G, A deposit that is negative for lambda light chain immunostaining. CHEST  , e105-e112DOI: ( /j.chest ) Copyright © 2017 American College of Chest Physicians Terms and Conditions

4 Figure 3 Electron microscopic images showing electron-dense granular deposits in the perivascular regions. A, Original magnification, ×1,500. B, Original magnification, ×5,000. CHEST  , e105-e112DOI: ( /j.chest ) Copyright © 2017 American College of Chest Physicians Terms and Conditions

5 Figure 4 Algorithmic approach for cystic lung diseases. Diagnoses are considered according to (1) if the cystic lesions are real cysts, (2) the distribution of cysts, and (3) associated HRCT findings. BHD = Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome; DIP = desquamative interstitial pneumonia; GGO = ground-glass opacity; HRCT = high-resolution CT; LAM = leioangiomyomatosis; LCDD = light chain deposition disease; LIP = lymphoid interstitial pneumonia; PJP = Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia; PLCH = pulmonary Langerhans cell histiocytosis.

6 Figure 5 Chest CT imaging obtained 3 years after autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation showing that the cyst walls got thinner. CHEST  , e105-e112DOI: ( /j.chest ) Copyright © 2017 American College of Chest Physicians Terms and Conditions
