Milchglasverschattungen

Long term

bronchoneumoniae that turned out to be a pulmonary alveolar proteinosis. Chest CT (axial (a,b,c and d) and coronal sections (d)) shows widespread geographic ground glass opacities accompanied by smooth thickening of the interlobular septal lines, the "crazy paving" pattern.

Clinical and

radiological features of lung disorders related to connective-tissue diseases: a pictorial essay. Axial (A, B) and coronal (C) HRCT images of an SSc patient demonstrate NSIP pattern with ground-glass opacities (black arrows), well depicted in the subpleural and basal regions of the lung; fine reticulations may be also observed. Coronal MPR image is useful to better delineate the presence of small bronchiectasis, which may be seen in the peripheral basal regions (white empty arrows)

A typical

carcinoid tumor of the lung presenting with pure persistent ground-glass opacity on high-resolution computed tomography: a case report. a High-resolution computed tomography of the pure ground-glass nodule. Focal p-GGO was identified in the right middle lobe of the lung. b Hematoxylin staining of the resected specimen. Small round to spindle-shaped cells arranged in a spindle cell pattern with finely granular chromatin, inconspicuous nucleoli, and a scant to moderate amount of eosinophilic cytoplasm were seen in the form of many scattered tumor foci (arrowheads). c Immunohistological staining showed the tumor cells are positive for synaptophysin A
