The roen tgenograph ic recogni tion of
honeycomb lung disease implies the ViSU-
alization of multiple lucent shadows from
2 mm. to 10 mm. in size (Fig. i). We often
use the term in reference to a disordered
multicvstic visualization, regardless of size,
that appears similar to a wasp nest thrown
down and trampled. This disordered multi-
lucent visualization is frequently seen as
disease but rarely follows a predictable
pattern of development or involvement.
The lungs are made up of vessels, lym-
phatics, a small amount of interstitial tissue,
and a large amount of air (inside bronchi,

The chronic reactive diseases, e.g., lipoid


pneumonia (Fig. 8) and pneumoconiosis
(Fig. 9) produce a true fibrotic honey-

through a miliary phase, but results in a
true fibrosis and emphysema. Chronic

familiar. Congenital lobar cystic disease of

The storage diseases should be considered


together, as we cannot identify the stored
material from roen tgenographi c visu aliza-

classic consideration for the histiocytosis
