Imaging findings
Extensive lung disease was observed with conspicuous cystic spaces, some subpleural (parasaccular emphysema-like) and others well-defined in central lung portions. A background diffuse hyperattenuation was also present. Occasional neurofibromas were noted.
Key takeaways
Neurofibromatosis Type 1 (NF1) can be associated with characteristic lung disease, including extensive cystic changes throughout the lungs and diffuse hyperattenuation, which may occur in non-smokers, challenging the conventional literature on NF1-associated lung disease.
