[CT of pulmonary eosinophilic granuloma]

CT findings of four cases of pulmonary eosinophilic Granuloma were discussed. In three cases, multiple nodular shadows or multiple cavitary lesions were observed in upper and middle lung field predominant. However, in one patient who had history of recurrent pneumothorax, CT revealed a honeycomb appearance and some bullous change as well. These findings seemed to represent a far advanced state of the disease. X-ray CT is excellent in demonstrating such pathological changes, and is indispensable in the diagnosis and follow up study of pulmonary eosinophilic granuloma.
