“…However, several methodologic problems hinder diagnosis of GGO predominant-type lesions by transbronchial biopsy (TBB): (1) the lesions may not be visible under X-ray fluoroscopic 6 guidance; (2) there is difficulty in identifying accessible bronchial routes to reach peripheral lesions within the time limitation of the procedure; and (3) it is difficult to confirm whether biopsy forceps or a brush can accurately reach the lesions. We previously reported that EBUS-GS could be useful in clinical practice for diagnosing GGO predominant-type lesions in the peripheral lung [14,15], and recent studies have reported that some of these lesions are likely to be diagnosed as adenocarcinoma or precancerous lesions [14,[16][17][18][19].…”

“…However, not all SSNs are malignant. In fact, SSNs include various histologic backgrounds including many benign conditions, such as focal interstitial fibrosis, eosinophilic pneumonia, thoracic endometriosis, and focal hemorrhage (5,6). Nevertheless, in consideration of the significance of lung cancer, we focus on SSNs in relation to adenocarcinomas in this review.…”

“…The formation mechanism of different ILD group-glass opacities is not exactly the same and can be caused by the incomplete inflation of pulmonary alveoli caused by inflammation, edema, fibrosis, or tumors (Clement et al, 2010). Ground-glass opacities of acute interstitial pneumonia (AIP) reflect the formation of transparent lung membrane (Park et al, 2007). Siegel et al (2001) reported that lesions were distributed around bronchi and presented lobular (punctate) or patchy density-increased shadows, which was similar to tuberculous pneumonia.…”

ABSTRACT. High resolution computed tomography (HRCT) was used to classify children with interstitial lung diseases (ILD). Sixty children with ILD underwent HRCT in supine position under freerespiratory conditions during scanning. Children under 5 years old were sedated with chloral hydrate and the scanning scope was from the lung apex to the diaphragm. In children older than 5 years old, scans were obtained at three levels: aortic arch, tracheal carina, and 1 cm above the right diaphragm. Five infectious patients were followed up. Two experienced radiologists read the films blindly to observe the type and distribution of ground-glass opacities and bronchovascular bundle abnormalities. Bronchovascular bundles were thick in 49 patients, and were thick and stiff in 27 patients. Of the 41 infectious patients, 39 showed thickened bronchovascular bundles, and 26 showed thick and stiff bronchovascular bundles. Of the 19 non-infectious patients, bronchovascular bundles were thickened in 10 patients, and were thick and stiff in 1 patient. Fortyone patients showed lobular ground-glass opacity (32 infectious, 9 non-infectious). Twenty-seven patients showed both bronchovascular bundle abnormality and lobular ground-glass opacity (20 infectious, 7 non-infectious). Eighteen patients showed patchy or mosaic ground-glass opacity (16 infectious, 2 non-infectious). There were 4 cases of bronchiectasis. HRCT is the first non-invasive diagnostic method for children with ILD, and its different manifestations can be classified. In early manifestation, bronchovascular bundles were abnormal and complicated with lobular ground-glass opacity. Patchy ground-glass opacity was the most common manifestation, and appeared to be difficult to disappear. Bronchiectasis indicated that the disease is irretrievable.
