A 56-Year-Old Woman With Multiple Pulmonary Cysts and Severe Chest Pain

Takafumi Kato et al. Chest. 2018 May.

Abstract

A 56-year-old woman presented to our hospital with a 4-month history of worsening chest pain. She denied having any respiratory symptoms, such as dyspnea, sputum, cough, or hemoptysis, or any history of smoking or exposure to dusts. One year previously she had a vertebral fracture. There was no specific family history, including pulmonary or autoimmune diseases. Chest CT performed 3 years earlier showed multiple thin-walled pulmonary cysts, although no further investigations were performed.
