Cystic formations of the lungs. Lung cyst: description

Lung cyst on the radiograph it manifests itself as a symptom of a ring-shaped shadow: an even peripheral contour and clearing in the middle. Externally, the formation is limited by a capsule of connective tissue, and inside the wall is lined with granulations.

Cyst-like formations are distinguished from true cysts by their irregular sizes and multiple chambers that may overlap on the image.

What is a lung retention cyst?

A lung retention cyst is not detected by the following signs:

  1. Thin-walled rounded shadow.
  2. Uneven outer contour due to connective tissue.
  3. If there is air inside the cavity, the liquid level can be traced.

Cyst-like cavities in the image are determined by the following x-ray symptoms:

  • many swollen chambers inside one clearing with uneven contours;
  • the presence of purulent contents inside.

Retention cysts are formed when the bronchus is blocked by sputum, tumor and foreign body. In this case, the proximal part of the bronchial tree swells. On the radiograph, the formation is represented by a ring-shaped shadow of an irregular oval shape, which on one side has an arcuate rounding (site of blockage).

An echinococcal cyst of the lung is represented by a ring-shaped darkening with a thin crescent-shaped stripe due to clearing between the true lining of the cavity and the fibrous tissue.

Types of cysts that can be detected by x-ray:

  1. Retention - when the lumen of the bronchus is blocked.
  2. Congenital - in the fetus immediately after birth.
  3. True – disturbances in the formation of the lungs in the embryonic period.
  4. False - consequence traumas suffered chest (abscess or gangrene).

Lung retention cyst is the most common among all the types described above. Its detection in the fetus and timely treatment allows you to avoid a terrible complication - atelectasis (collapse of lung tissue).

The false form differs from the true one in that it does not have an internal lining of bronchial epithelium. On an x-ray, this is manifested by the absence of a double contour of the ring-shaped shadow and the localization of the cavity only in the posterior pulmonary segments. A true cyst is observed in any segmental parts of the lung tissue.

The draining (open) appearance appears when the formation opens in the bronchi. This phenomenon is considered favorable and indicates the beginning of resolution of cystic cavities.

Closed view appears when the formation is “unlaced” from the bronchial tree.

A retention cyst resembles bullae (air alveoli) in focal emphysema. Sometimes such formations reach enormous sizes and simulate the accumulation of air in the pleural cavity, but have a different origin, unlike cystic cavities.

Congenital polycystic fetal disease is a developmental defect caused by pathology of the bronchial tree with underdevelopment of the respiratory tract.

How to identify ring shadow syndrome on an x-ray

Ring shadow syndrome in the image is determined by the following X-ray symptoms:

  • oval or fusiform darkening with two “horns” formed by small bronchi;
  • two-humped shadow;
  • numerous protrusions of the wall of the distended bronchi (retention cyst);
  • flask-shaped darkenings, “bunches of grapes”, retorts.

The retention form of the formation has the appearance of a “tree branch” - one center with numerous branches. Due to the specificity of the structure, the contours of the cavity are polycyclic, wavy or tuberous and thin. The pulmonary pattern is deformed around the shadow. In photographs taken at different phases of the respiratory cycle, the shape and contours of the formation do not change.

The diagnosis is confirmed by X-ray methods: or fluoroscopy. By introducing a contrast agent into the bronchi, it is possible to establish the origin and type of pathology, as well as distinguish between tuberculoma, cyst and lung cancer.

Bronchography is not performed in fetuses and small children, since their bronchial tree is very sensitive to foreign bodies, and the procedure is traumatic. Complications of the procedure when water-soluble contrast penetrates into the mediastinal tissue are dangerous.

Bronchography for diagnosing cystic cavities in the lungs

Bronchography in the diagnosis of cystic cavities allows you to determine following changes:

  • dilation of the bronchi;
  • stump at the point where the subsegmental bronchus departs from the central bronchus;
  • drained cavities (filled with contrast).

Cyst-shaped cavities in fetuses and children tend to gradually increase as fluid accumulates in them. Doctors differentiate these formations from cancer. There are cases of hemoptysis due to trauma to the inner wall of the congenital cystic cavity in the fetus.

A layered tomogram performed in such cases reveals similar shadows on sections, which differ only in size. In case of cancerous tumors, a white areola is clearly visible along their contour in the image due to inflammation lymphatic vessels, which “reaches” the root from the affected side.

The above-described formations in the fetus are dangerous due to complications:

  • atelectasis - collapse of the lung;
  • formation of emphysematous bullae;
  • acute bloating cysts;
  • pneumothorax - release of air into the pleural cavity.

A congenital lung cyst in a fetus is most often detected when performing a chest x-ray if pneumonia or tuberculosis is suspected. Education may not manifest itself until adolescence when children begin to perform.

In a fetus, a large congenital lung cyst can provoke the syndrome respiratory apnea. X-ray. False cavity left lung, due to deformation of the pulmonary pattern

A lung cyst is a thin-walled air cavity of the lung tissue of a polyetiological nature, most often located directly under the visceral pleura (bullous lungs) or in the interlobar groove.

Diagnosis of lung cyst

A plain X-ray of the chest in individuals with single uncomplicated cysts shows a round-shaped, thin-walled cavity with contents; there is no perifocal inflammation and fibrous changes in the surrounding lung tissue. The bullae are located subpleurally. In patients with polycystic disease, many thin-walled, round-shaped formations of the same type are detected, closely adjacent to each other, located intrapulmonary. On the tomogram, the affected lung has a cellular appearance (the appearance of a bunch of grapes). If the cyst communicates with the bronchial tree, its cavity can be contrasted during bronchography. However, more often the unchanged bronchus wraps around a round formation in the lung.

Angiopulmonography reveals an unusual course and deformation of the branches of the pulmonary artery (a symptom of the arachnoid network in polycystic disease). On scintigrams, the cyst is characterized by the absence of zones of vascularization of the lung tissue. Visual condition lung surface assessed during (videothoracoscopy).

Treatment of lung cyst

The treatment method for lung cysts complicated by pneumothorax is the pleural cavity with constant aspiration of air. If external drainage is ineffective, temporary endoscopic bronchial occlusion is used. If it is impossible to straighten the lung within 2-3 days, in order to determine the extent of its damage, diagnostic thoracoscopy (videothoracoscopy) or traditional thoracotomy is performed, followed by refinement of the plan.

In patients with large lung cysts, suturing and ligation of the bronchus communicating with the cyst, resection of the cyst or lung are performed through the thoracotomy access. Pulmonary bullae can be opened and sutured.

The scope of endoscopic interventions includes bullectomy, pleurodesis with medical glue (MK-7, MK-8, etc.), electrical and laser coagulation bull, lung resection.

Suppurating solitary cysts are excised with maximum sparing of unaffected lung tissue. When multiple cysts are infected, resection of the affected part of the lung is indicated. Lung resection can also be performed using the method of thoracoscopically assisted surgery (video-assisted thoracoscopy. Its essence is to supplement videothoracoscopy with a small thoracotomy (incision length from 3.5 to 5 cm).

A lung cyst is a pathological cavity in the lung parenchyma (cavity), filled with liquid or gas. Unlike an abscess (a purulent-inflammatory formation), cysts are asymptomatic and are not accompanied by an infectious process. They occur in both newborns and adults. According to WHO, among all patients with various diseases of the respiratory system, patients with lung cysts account for 3–5%. There are many factors influencing the development of this disease, so it is impossible to identify a specific reason for the formation of the cavity. As a rule, a lung cyst is diagnosed when passing preventive examination or during a diagnostic x-ray examination for an infectious or viral disease respiratory system.


Despite the fact that cysts are a “harmless” lung tumor, if they become complicated, they can pose a serious threat to the patient’s life.

In Moscow, you can undergo diagnostics and receive competent advice about a lung cyst only at the Yusupov Hospital. Thanks to innovative technologies, modern approaches to treatment and highly qualified medical personnel, doctors at the oncology clinic achieve successful results.

Lung cyst: classification

There are many pathomorphological forms of lung cysts, which differ significantly from each other. Depending on the origin and mechanism of formation, there are:

  • Congenital lung cysts;
  • Acquired lung cysts.

Congenital cysts form during pregnancy. These include cystic pulmonary hypoplasia, congenital giant cysts, accessory lung, and bronchiolar pulmonary emphysema. Acquired, on the contrary, appear throughout life as a response to long-term exposure irritating factor. These include echinococcal, retention, air cyst of the lung, bullous emphysema, pneumocele, etc.

Taking into account the morphological features of lung cysts, they are divided into true and false. True, that is, congenital, are represented by connective tissue on the outside and an epithelial lining on the inside, and can produce a mucous secretion. Unlike true cysts, the wall of false cysts lacks mucous membrane and structural elements of the bronchus.

Lung retention cyst

A lung retention cyst occurs as a result of blockage of the bronchus and is characterized by compensatory expansion of its proximal section. The contents are mucus mixed with blood. They are asymptomatic.

Air cyst of the lung

Air cysts of the lungs are a round bulla filled with air. It develops during bacterial infections, for example, pneumonia, mainly of staphylococcal origin. They tend to resolve spontaneously.

Echinococcal cyst of the lung

Pulmonary echinococcosis develops after tapeworm eggs enter the human body. An echinococcal cyst has a dense, elastic capsule capable of continuous growth. Contents inside yellow color. The main method of treatment is only surgery.

Cyst on an image of the lungs: symptoms

Lung cysts do not manifest themselves for a long time. The transition from an asymptomatic course to a complicated one with a clear clinical picture can be provoked by acute respiratory viral infection or severe intoxication (pneumonia). Main symptoms:

  • Cough: productive, has bad smell, a large amount of purulent sputum;
  • Hemoptysis is a sign of cyst disintegration;
  • Chest pain - occurs when the pleura is involved in the process;
  • Shortness of breath - increases with a rapid decrease in the volume of functioning lung tissue;
  • Increased temperature – malaise, weakness, weight loss, loss of appetite.

Cyst on an image of the lungs: treatment and diagnosis

Upon admission to the Yusupov Hospital with a suspected lung cyst, after collecting an anamnesis, the patient is prescribed additional testing. Compulsory instrumental method diagnostics are chest X-ray, CT, MRI and fibrobronchoscopy. Based on the test results, the patient is prescribed individual therapy. Treatment varies depending on the size of the tumor. Surgical correction remains the most popular treatment method. It is performed by conventional thoracotomy or using videothoracoscopy. After removal of the cyst, fibrosis may form on the lung, but it disappears within 2-3 years after surgery. The Yusupov Hospital has a powerful diagnostic base, an oncology and outpatient hospital, where you will receive professional medical care and psychological support around the clock.

Treatment of cysts with folk remedies can really be effective. A cyst is a benign cavitary neoplasm in various organs. The cyst can form in the gum or liver, ovary or brain. This is one of the most commonly diagnosed diseases and has been known since the time of Hippocrates. By the way, the one who is still considered one of the founding fathers of medical science used so-called folk remedies to treat cystic formations. Of course, there are types of cysts that need to be operated on, often this surgical intervention carried out on an emergency basis. This applies to ruptures of large cysts, purulent cysts and neoplasms prone to malignancy, that is, to degeneration into malignant formations.

Cysts, against which folk remedies can have the desired effect, are conventionally divided into two categories:

Any cyst, no matter what type it is, is a pathological formation that requires either constant monitoring or medical or surgical treatment.

Most often, a cyst is detected during routine medical examinations, this is especially true for small cysts that do not have complications. All cysts have a cavity that contains either secretory fluid, fat cells, or dermoid (germ) tissue. A cyst can also be false or solitary, that is, true.

Solitary neoplasms differ from acquired, false ones in that their cavity consists of epithelial tissue. A false neoplasm does not have an epithelium inside; its walls consist of the tissues of the organ in which it was formed. There are cysts that can quickly provoke cancer, so not every cyst traditional treatment accepts.

Treatment of cysts with folk remedies depends on the factor that provoked the formation of the cyst, the size of the neoplasm, its location, the structure of the contents and many other components. Only a doctor should diagnose and determine the treatment option; self-medication often leads to malignancy of the cyst, when precious time that should have been devoted to drug treatment is lost. Also, the wrong choice of herbal medicine or self-prescription medications can provoke rupture of the cyst or twisting of its stem.

Symptoms of a cyst most often do not appear on early stages development, although precisely this period is the most favorable for treatment with herbal remedies or medications. Cysts big size most often subject to surgical removal, but in recovery period It is permissible to use therapy based on natural components.

A lung cyst is a pathological formation of a round shape that develops in the parenchyma of an organ and contains either air or liquid exudate. Refers to benign diseases and initial stage its development is asymptomatic, which significantly complicates diagnosis. The clinical picture, as a rule, occurs when the formation acquires a large size and begins to compress nearby tissues, provoking the development of degenerative processes in them. All this leads to serious complications and the need for surgical intervention.

Classification

A cyst, like any other benign neoplasm, has its own classification. Currently, the following types of such tumors are distinguished:

  1. Congenital. Education data is formed back in embryonic period as a result of abnormal disorders in fetal development and are detected during ultrasound examination. If no pathology was detected in the fetus while in the womb, the first symptoms, as a rule, appear immediately after birth (shortness of breath, impaired breathing, etc.). It should be noted that congenital cysts can be multiple - in this case polycystic pulmonary disease is detected, or single - a bronchogenic cyst.
  2. Bronchogenic cysts. These formations also begin to form as a result of abnormal defects in the development of the fetus and they consist of bronchial tissue. There are several types - front and rear. The formations have thin walls and contain pathological fluid, which can be either transparent or brown in color. The process of their formation in 90% of cases is accompanied by painful sensations in the chest, shortness of breath and cough.
  3. Dysontogenetic. Another type of congenital pathology that occurs as a result abnormal development bronchopulmonary kidneys in the postnatal period. The peculiarity of dysontogenetic tumors is that they can for long years do not manifest themselves in any way and are diagnosed in a person at any age.
  4. Retention cysts. They refer to acquired pathologies that arise as a result of impacts, injuries and the development of other diseases, for example, hydatid cysts, pneumocele, cystic fibrosis, etc.

Mediastinal tumors are also divided into true and false. The former, as a rule, develop in the embryonic period (congenital) and have a dense membrane consisting of connective tissue and particles of bronchial walls. Inside, they contain a lining that consists of cylindrical or alveolar epithelium. This lining has glands on its surface that produce mucous secretion. It is for this reason that cysts always contain fluid.

And here false formations exocrine glands in the walls of the trachea and bronchi do not contain mucous secretions and are classified as air glands. They have no internal lining and are covered with a thin, smooth shell. They occur mainly due to injuries and bruises of the chest.

It should be noted that the diagnosis of “polycystic disease” is made not only with multiple lung damage, but also if the pathological formation that forms in the parenchyma has more than 1 chamber (multi-chamber).

Etiology

As mentioned above, a cyst can be congenital or acquired. The main reason for the appearance of congenital formations is abnormal defects in the development of the fetus. And the occurrence of cysts can provoke various factors and the most common of them are:

Quite often, education is diagnosed in people who have such a bad habit as smoking. Nicotine smoke fills the alveoli of the organ, expanding them and provoking the development pathological processes, which can lead to the appearance of a tumor in the lung.

Often cavity syndrome occurs as a result of decay malignant tumor after chemotherapy or radiation. In this case, all structures of the lung are affected, resulting in inflammatory and degenerative processes that provoke the formation of cysts.

Characteristic symptoms

When a formation occurs, its clinical manifestations may be different. Some people do not have them at all, which is why patients learn about the development of such a pathology quite by accident, for example, when undergoing preventive x-ray examination. And in others, clinical manifestations of the disease appear at the very beginning of its formation and include symptoms such as:

  1. Cough. This is the main symptom that often occurs at the very beginning of the development of pathology. If the cyst contains liquid exudate, then the patient usually experiences moist cough. If complications have already begun in the form of lung gangrene or an abscess, a putrid taste may remain in the mouth after coughing.
  2. Discharge of sputum mixed with blood. This symptom often occurs when the cyst becomes large and puts pressure on the tissues and organs, causing them to begin to die and disintegrate. In addition, the discharge of sputum mixed with blood may be a signal of vascular damage due to malignant tumors and the development of tuberculosis.
  3. Painful sensations behind the sternum. It occurs when a cyst is visualized near the chest wall. At the same time, there is an increase pain syndrome while inhaling or coughing.
  4. Dyspnea.
  5. Temperature (occurs when the cyst suppurates).
  6. Increased sweating.
  7. Decreased appetite, nausea.

When the formation suppurates, pus accumulates inside it, which puts strong pressure on the walls of the tumor. Sometimes they cannot withstand such a load and break. The consequence of this is the release of purulent contents from the tumor and the appearance of foul-smelling and profuse sputum.

Important! After the cyst breaks through, the patient's condition may improve slightly. But this does not mean that he does not need treatment. After a breakthrough, the neoplasm begins to fill again with pathological exudate and manifests itself with the symptoms described above.

Consequences and complications

The harmful effects of a cyst may vary. More often, its growth leads to compression of organ segments, resulting in a displacement of the mediastinum. And this, in turn, provokes the appearance of respiratory failure, pulmonary hemorrhage and asphyxia. In addition, when bronchogenic cysts break through, the risks of developing an abscess, sepsis and cystic fibrosis increase.

All these conditions are very dangerous for humans and can lead to sudden fatal outcome. Therefore, treatment must begin immediately after a cyst is identified.

Diagnostics

If you suspect the development of a tumor, then you need to take an x-ray of the lungs. On an x-ray, it will appear as a dark spot, which is visualized in the area of ​​the parenchyma.

But in order to make an accurate diagnosis and begin treatment, you will also need to undergo a number of other diagnostic methods:

  • computed tomography;
  • bronchography;
  • fiberoscopy;
  • videothoracoscopy;
  • angiopulmonography.

It should be understood that the symptoms and treatment of cystic formations depend on their type. And these are the ones diagnostic methods They will help you accurately make a diagnosis, identify the presence of complications and determine further treatment tactics.

Treatment methods

If a cyst occurs, treatment can be carried out either conservatively or surgically. However, it should immediately be noted that drug treatment do not help get rid of pathology. It is used only when infectious or inflammatory processes occur in the structures of the lungs, or as preparation for surgery.

Treatment is mainly carried out surgically. If the patient has no complications due to the development of pathologies, complete resection of the formation is performed. If polycystic disease is observed, either the whole organ (pneumoectomy) or part of it (lobectomy) is removed.

In situations where the tumor is filled with purulent contents, antibacterial therapy is carried out before surgery and only after that surgical intervention is performed. For an air tumor, the method of draining the pleural cavity is used. And if the development of a cyst is accompanied respiratory failure, the operation is carried out using puncture (pumping out pathological contents from the formation) and transthoracic drainage under ultrasound control.

Alternative medicine

Treatment can also be carried out using folk remedies. But it should be understood that they, like drug therapy, will not help get rid of the tumor. Folk remedies can be used only if inflammatory and infectious processes, which must be urgently eliminated before surgery in order to avoid the development of postoperative complications.

Important! You should treat education with folk remedies only after consulting a doctor! Self-indulgence in this case can lead to serious consequences!

So, what to do if a tumor is detected in the lung? Alternative medicine offers next medicine from this disease, the preparation of which occurs in several stages. For the first you will need:

  • dry wormwood – 5 g;
  • chaga liquid (extract, sold in pharmacies) – 200 ml;
  • pine buds– 100 g;
  • rose hips – 100 g.

For the second stage of preparation you will need to prepare the following ingredients:

  • freshly squeezed aloe juice – 200 ml;
  • cognac (preferably “3 stars”) – 250 ml;
  • May honey – 600 g;
  • chaga – 200 g.

First you need to prepare a decoction. To do this, pour 3 liters of water over pine buds and boil over low heat for about 60 minutes, and then add wormwood, rose hips and chaga extract. Boil for another 1 hour. Once the decoction is ready, leave it aside and let it brew for 24 hours. Then strain.

Next, you can start preparing the second part. medicine. To do this, take a three-liter bottle, place aloe juice, honey, cognac and chaga in it, add the previously prepared decoction. The resulting product must be infused for 4 days.

Treatment with traditional methods, namely this medicine, is carried out as follows: first take 1 tsp. 3 times a day before meals. After 5 - 7 days, the dosage is increased to 2 tsp. (the number of reception remains the same). Take for 4 – 6 weeks.

It is necessary to understand that a cyst that forms in the lungs can lead to serious consequences. And if you have also been diagnosed this pathology To avoid complications, do not delay treatment under any circumstances. Begin therapeutic measures immediately after the diagnosis is made.

A cyst is a neoplasm (tumor) in the form of a vesicle filled with liquid substance– blood, pus or secretion. Neoplasms appear due to pathological changes in the work of cells that begin to grow and produce similar, mutated ones. Tumors are usually divided into malignant and benign. An ovarian cyst is classified as benign education. It consists of a stalk, a thin shell lined inside epithelial tissue, which produces fluid and thereby leads to an increase in tumor size. Tumor formations can affect both the external and internal walls of any organs.

The danger of a cyst is as follows:

    It is not able to decrease or disappear on its own (the exception is female functional cysts: follicular and corpus luteum).

    Due to pressure on neighboring organs, the cyst interferes with their normal functioning.

    An enlarging cyst can burst, which can lead to blood poisoning, inflammation and death.

    The cyst can degenerate into a malignant tumor.

The functional types of ovarian cysts - corpus luteum and follicular - are diagnosed most often. They are hormonal in origin and can be successfully treated with contraceptives.

The benign nature of the formations means that the cyst does not have a tendency to rapid growth, does not affect neighboring organs, but only creates pressure on them. Usually the cyst is not large in size and may not show itself for a long time. There have been cases where formations were discovered when their diameter reached several tens of centimeters. Often, an ovarian cyst is discovered by chance, during a medical examination by a gynecologist or an ultrasound scan, so regular visits to a doctor are the key to women’s health.

Important: a woman at any age, regardless of her health, should visit a gynecologist at least twice a year in order to prevent gynecological diseases. After all, the health of the female body depends on timely diagnosis of tumor formations.

Treatment of the cyst depends on the nature and place of origin, the size of the tumor, and the age of the patient.

In most cases, the cyst is successfully treated using:

    Oral contraceptives;

    Homeopathic medicines;

    Diet food;

    Taking vitamins is especially important when treating cysts A, E, K, C, B1, B6;

    Traditional medicine.

Treatment with folk remedies should be carried out in accordance with the instructions and under the strict supervision of a specialist. Do not take risks by self-medicating, many medicinal herbs may be contraindicated in your case. It is better to consult your doctor to avoid unpleasant consequences.

Patients with complicated lung cysts, as a rule, undergo surgical treatment.

Surgical treatment is possible conservative and radical. A unified view on the indications for radical surgery (segmentectomy, lobectomy and pneumonectomy) has not yet been established.

Thoracic specialists, based on the study of Mayo's material, come to the conclusion that the only method of treatment is surgery and that in cases of unclear diagnosis, one should not stop at a trial thoracotomy.

Ballon suggests treating all lung cysts containing air and pus with repeated aspirations, which leads to rapid collapse of the cystic formations.

This method of treating lung cysts is indicated in a limited number of cases when the wall of the cystic formation is fused with chest, the suppurating cyst does not communicate with the bronchus and when a more radical intervention for some reason cannot be performed. This method, combined with subsequent administration, turns out to be effective in some cases, but the improvement achieved is usually short-lived.

Most surgeons believe that when treating suppurating pulmonary cystic formations one should resort to more radical surgical interventions.

The nature of the operation in the treatment of a lung cyst depends on the condition of the patient, the localization of the cystic formation, the involvement of lung tissue in the process, adhesions, and various complications.

In case of solitary pulmonary cysts complicated by infection, or in their special location, when extirpation of the cyst for some reason turns out to be impossible, it is appropriate to open the cyst in a single-stage or two-stage manner, followed by its excision, if possible.

Surgical treatment of patients with giant lung cysts is as follows.

In the presence of acute tension pneumothorax, the patient should urgently inject it after the puncture, connecting it to the underwater system. If this method does not lead to a cure, or if the expanded lung after a certain period of time turns out to be collapsed again, that is, tense again appears, a more radical surgical intervention should be undertaken - a thoracotomy. Sometimes only thoracotomy makes it possible to choose correct method surgical intervention. Segmental resection of the lung containing the cystic formation, lobectomy or pneumonectomy reliably eliminate the lesion, but they sacrifice the normal lung tissue surrounding the cyst. In the case of a subpleural location of the cyst, its opening, excision of the wall and suturing is sufficient.

If possible, the cyst wall should be excised along its entire length. The bronchial openings opening into the cavity of the cystic formation must be closed with sutures, and the cyst bed, after penicillin and streptomycin have been injected into it, must be sutured with submersible catgut sutures. During this operation, the lung tissue is preserved as much as possible.

A rubber drainage connected to an underwater system or aspirator is inserted into the pleural cavity.

In case of suppuration of multiple cysts of one lung, the group of which includes the so-called cystic lung, the only method radical treatment lung cysts there is a lobectomy or pneumonectomy. The use of lobectomy or pneumonectomy depends on the extent of the process, i.e., on whether one lobe or the entire lung is involved.
