CT scan shows multiple small cysts predominantly in the upper lobes. The cysts are round and air filled large and are between 5mm-8mm
These findings are consistent with Langerhans histiocytosis though the relatively minor smoking history was inconsistent with the diagnosis and thus the person was subjected to multicentric wedge biopsies.

These findings are consistent with Langerhans histiocytosis though the relatively minor smoking history was inconsistent with the diagnosis and thus the person was subjected to multicentric wedge biopsies.
Pathology revealed numerous stellate nodules which suggested ?burnout pulmonary Langerhans cell histiocytosis though immunostains including Langerin, CD1a and S100 were negative thus failing to confirm the diagnosis Other findings of histiocytic aggregates raised the possibility of an inhalational hypersensitivity pneumonitis.
