1. High-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) images from a 75-year-old, male ex-smoker with combined pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema syndrome (CPFE). a) HRCT image shows sub-pleural honeycombing in the middle lung, traction bronchiectasis and emphysema.
High-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) images from a 75-year-old, male ex-smoker with combined pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema syndrome (CPFE). a) HRCT image shows sub-pleural honeycombing in the middle lung, traction bronchiectasis and emphysema. On the right side a consolidation compatible with lung carcinoma is present, a frequent complication in CPFE syndrome. Echocardiography documented a pulmonary arterial pressure of 75 mmHg. b) Focal lucencies associated with paraseptal emphysema are more evident in the upper lobes in the same patient.
