Fig.4 High-resolution CT scan of a 60-year-old man, ex-smoker, with Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome. Cystic lesions of varying sizes are present in both lungs with asymmetric distribution with otherwise normal-appearing lung parenchyma. This patient presented with abdominal discomfort related to a renal mass that proved to be a renal cell carcinoma and was incidentally noted to have cystic lung disease.
