Lungs Cystic

Pulmonary cysts are a rare disease characterized by the formation of cysts on the surface of the lungs. These cysts can be single or multiple and can change in size over time.

Pulmonary cysts can be congenital or acquired. Congenital cysts are usually discovered in childhood and usually do not cause symptoms or breathing problems. However, some congenital cysts can become large and cause breathing problems or other symptoms.

Acquired cysts can occur at any age and can be caused by a variety of factors, such as infections, injuries, tumors, or other lung diseases. Acquired cysts usually cause symptoms such as coughing, difficulty breathing, and chest pain.

To diagnose pulmonary cysts, X-ray or computed tomography of the lungs is used. Often, pulmonary cysts do not need treatment unless they cause symptoms or grow in size. However, if the cysts cause breathing problems or other symptoms, treatment such as surgical removal of the cyst may be required.

In general, pulmonary cysts are a rare condition that is usually not dangerous to health. However, if you have symptoms associated with pulmonary cysts, it is important to see a doctor for diagnosis and treatment.
