Diagnosis With Brief Discussion

Diagnosis
Multifocal micronodular pneumocyte hyperplasia in tuberous sclerosis
Radiologic Findings
Figs 1-5. Chest CT scan with lung window setting shows multiple small solid and ground glass opacity nodules in both lungs.
Brief Review
Multifocal micronodular pneumocyte hyperplasia (MMPH) is a rare pulmonary disorder that can be associated with tuberous sclerosis complex. MMPH can occur in patients with or without lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM), predominantly in female patients. At CT, multiple tiny nodular opacities (1~8 mm in diameter) are diffusely scattered throughout the lungs in a random distribution. Although differentiation of MMPH from other diseases with nodular opacities is difficult, MMPH should be considered in the differential diagnosis when multiple tiny pulmonary nodules are present in patients with tuberous sclerosis.
