  2. Pleuropulmonary blastoma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pleuropulmonary_blastoma

    It occurs most often in infants and young children [1] but also has been reported in adults. [2] In a retrospective review of 204 children with lung tumors, pleuropulmonary blastoma and carcinoid tumor were the most common primary tumors (83% of the 204 children had secondary tumors spread from cancers elsewhere in the body). [1]

  3. Alveolar capillary dysplasia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alveolar_capillary_dysplasia

    ACD is a rare disease. As of 2011, about 100 cases had been reported. It is likely an under-recognized cause of death shortly after birth because diagnosis requires microscopic examination of lung tissue or specialized genetic testing, or death can be attributed to severe heart or intestinal congenital abnormalities which frequently occur in ...

  4. Neuroendocrine hyperplasia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuroendocrine_hyperplasia

    Neuroendocrine hyperplasia is rare and poorly understood lung condition which is characterized by an abnormal growth of pulmonary neuroendocrine cells in the lungs. It is a non-progressive disease of the interstitial tissues of the lungs. Prior to the findings of the hyperplasia of neuroendocrine cells it was known as tachypnea of infancy, as ...

  5. Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idiopathic_pulmonary_fibrosis

    The tissue in the lungs becomes thick and stiff, which affects the tissue that surrounds the air sacs in the lungs. [7] Symptoms typically include gradual onset of shortness of breath and a dry cough. [1] Other changes may include feeling tired, and clubbing abnormally large and dome shaped finger and toenails. [1]

  6. Lymphangioleiomyomatosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lymphangioleiomyomatosis

    Preservation of lung volumes in the presence of increased interstitial markings is a radiographic hallmark of LAM that helps distinguish it from most other interstitial lung diseases, in which alveolar septal and interstitial expansion tend to increase the lung's elastic recoil properties and decreased lung volumes. [citation needed]

  7. Eosinophilic granuloma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eosinophilic_granuloma

    Specifically, thoracic spine and frontal bone within the skull are the most affected in children. On the other hand, cervical spine and jaw bone are the major spots of EG lesions in adults. Symptoms of EG include stiffness, local pain, edema of surrounding tissues, posture change, and many others, depending on the affected bone. [1]

  8. Necrotizing pneumonia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Necrotizing_pneumonia

    NP in adults was first described in the 1940s, whereas in children it was reported later in 1994. [3] Necrotizing pneumonia is an ancient disease which was once a leading cause of death in both adults and children. [9] Its clinical features were presumably first outlined by Hippocrates. [9]

  9. Cryptogenic organizing pneumonia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptogenic_organizing...

    While patchy bilateral disease is typical, there are unusual variants of organizing pneumonia where it may appear as multiple nodules or masses. One rare presentation, focal organizing pneumonia, may be indistinguishable from lung cancer based on imaging alone, requiring biopsy or surgical resection to make the diagnosis. [20]
