Lymphocytic Interstitial Pneumonia

On HRCT scans, lung cysts are characterized by rounded areas of low attenuation in the lung parenchyma and a well-defined interface with the normal adjacent lung. The most common cystic lung diseases are lymphangioleiomyomatosis, Langerhans cell histiocytosis, and lymphocytic interstitial pneumonia. In a retrospective analysis of the HRCT findings in 50 patients diagnosed with chronic paracoccidioidomycosis, we found lung cysts in 5 cases (10%), indicating that patients with paracoccidioidomycosis can present with lung cysts on HRCT scans. Therefore, paracoccidioidomycosis should be included in the differential diagnosis of cystic lung diseases.

Background: Erdheim–Chester disease is a rare non-Langerhans' cell histiocytosis. Objective: This case report is presented to familiarize clinicians with Erdheim–Chester disease and its differential diagnosis. Results and Conclusion: Erdheim–Chester disease presents with unique clinical and pathologic findings. Its xanthoma-like lesions can cause significant morbidity and mortality.

Tract Involvement

An 8-month-old girl presented with chronic mucous bloody diarrhea for 3 months. She was diagnosed as infective gastroenteritis and did not improve after antibiotic treatment. Three months subsequently, she was diagnosed with allergic gastroenteritis after developing generalized skin rash and was treated with amino acid-based formula but the symptoms of diarrhea deteriorated. The results of a biopsy of the gastrointestinal tract and skin lesions confirmed the diagnosis of Langerhans cell histiocytosis. Although Langerhans cell histiocytosis is uncommon with gastrointestinal tract involvement, Langerhans cell histiocytosis should be listed in the differential diagnosis for patients who present with chronic mucous bloody diarrhea that is unresponsive to multimodality treatment.
