3 Figure 2 HRCT at the level of the tracheal carina (top) and lung bases (bottom) showing diffuse ground-glass opacities and interlobular and intralobular reticulation, predominantly involving the dependent regions of the lungs. There are no pleural effusions. A small pneumomediastinum was confirmed (arrowheads). CHEST  , DOI: ( /chest ) Copyright © 2008 The American College of Chest Physicians Terms and Conditions

Top: Extensive fibrosis replacing lung parenchyma, resulting in cystic remodeling (arrows) [hematoxylin-eosin, original × 20]. Bottom: Reactive type II pneumocyte proliferation (arrows) [hematoxylin-eosin, original × 400].
