comment

Emphysematous changes sometimes can be mistaken for multifocal lung cysts. In contrast to true cysts, the cystlike lucencies caused by the destruction of lung parenchyma in emphy-sema do not have walls. Nevertheless, emphysema can be accompanied by multiple cysts, such as bullae, or in association with LCH.
