Figure

• 

  Figure 1 Chest radiographs and computed tomography at initial visit. (A) Chest radiographs showing bilateral multiple cysts, and (B) chest CT showing multiple well-demarcated, variable-sized cystic lesions in both lung fields.

• 

  Figure 2 Chest radiographs and computed tomography at second time visit. (A) Chest radiographs showing multiple cystic lesions combined with pneumonic infiltration in both lower lungs, and (B) chest CT showing multiple cystic lesion of variable-size and some consolidations in both lower lungs with bronchovascular bundle thickening.

• 

  Figure 3 Histologic finding of wedge resected lung specimen. (A) Small cyst is noted (H&E stain, ×10). (B) Peribronchiolar lymphocytic infiltration without atypism is revealed (H&E stain, ×100).
