traction bronchiectasis

a phenomenon in which bronchi and bronchioles are pulled open by surrounding pulmonary fibrosis or an increase in elastic recoil. This is seen in association with cicatrization atelectasis.

This UIP pattern in IPF is recapitulated on the macroscopic level and is visible radiographically as peripherally accentuated interstitial fibrosis with lower lobe predominance, traction bronchiectasis, and honeycombing.

In our study, we found five radiologic patterns on CT scan; (1)non-specific ground-glass attenuation 17(34%),(2) patchy distribution of ground-glass attenuation accompanied by interlobular septal thickening 7(14%), (3)multifocal areas of airspace consolidation 7(14%),(4)extensive bilateral ground-glass attenuation or airspace consolidations with traction bronchiectasis 4(8%), and (5) nodules of variable sizes randomly distributed in both lungs 15(30%).

HRCT LUNG FINDINGS IN POST CHEMOTHERAPY PATIENTS EMERGING CHALLENGE FOR RADIOLOGISTS

Abnormal pulmonary lesion patterns (ground-glass opacity, consolidation, parenchymal bands, air trapping, and reticulation) and evidence of fibrosis (architectural distortion, traction bronchiectasis, or honeycombing) were evaluated on follow-up thin-section CT.

The lung abnormalities included nondependent ground-glass or reticular abnormalities, diffuse centrilobular nodularity, nonemphysematous cysts, honeycombing, and traction bronchiectasis.
