Diagnosis With Brief Discussion

Diagnosis
Multifocal micronodular pneumocyte hyperplasia (MMPH) and lymphangioleiomyomatosis in patient with tuberous sclerosis
Radiologic Findings
Chest radiograph demonstrates diffuse, ill-defined, nodular opacities in both lungs. Computed tomography of the chest shows sharply and poorly defined small nodules, varying in diameter from 1 to 5 mm, and smooth thin-walled cysts diffusely scattered in both lungs.
Brief Review
MMPH is a rare benign hamartomatous proliferation of type II pneumocytes, often associated with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) and/or lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM). Most patients with MMPH in TSC are associated with LAM. Tuberin, the TSC2 gene product, has been recently found to be expressed in LAM and MMPH. The diagnosis of MMPH is confirmed by pathology, which will show proliferation of type II pneumocytes without the typical nuclear atypia and aggregations of macrophages in the alveolar lumens.
Characteristic CT features of MMPH are multiple tiny nodules (1-8 mm in diameter), which are diffusely scattered in a random distribution. Differential diagnoses include multiple atypical adenomatous hyperplasia, early pulmonary Langerhans cell histiocytosis, minute hematogeneous lung metastases, and miliary tuberculosis.
