ABSTRACT
Cysts and cavities in the lung are commonly encountered on chest imaging. It is necessary to distinguish thin-walled lung cysts (≤2 mm) from cavities and characterize their distribution as focal or multifocal versus diffuse. Focal cavitary lesions are often caused by inflammatory, infectious, or neoplastic processes in contrast to diffuse cystic lung diseases. An algorithmic approach to diffuse cystic lung disease can help narrow the differential diagnosis, and additional testing such as skin biopsy, serum biomarkers, and genetic testing can be confirmatory. An accurate diagnosis is essential for the management and disease surveillance of extrapulmonary complications.
