    Discussion PLCH is a smoking-related nodular-cystic pulmonary disorder, which occurs in young-medium-aged adults (20-40 years of age) with an equal gender distribution [ 2, 3 ]. [scitechnol.com]

  • Exertional Dyspnea

    A young male who currently smoked complained of a cough and exertional dyspnea, common clinical features of PLCH; however, the radiological findings did not support a diagnosis of PLCH. [kjim.org]

    dyspnea typical ( Eur J Intern Med 2015;26:351 ) Rarely can present with hemoptysis Recurrent spontaneous pneumothorax in 15 - 25% of cases Pulmonary hypertension and vasculopathy frequent in advanced cases Diabetes insipidus in 15% of patients from [pathologyoutlines.com]

    In half the cases, pulmonary involvement is revealed by non specific respiratory signs in smokers, dominated by non-productive cough, sometimes associated with exertional dyspnea. [pubs.sciepub.com]

  • Rales

    Adults may experience: • Bone pain; • Cough and shortness of breath; • Fever; • Frequent urination; • Weight loss; and • Rash. ICD-9: 202.5, 277.89 PROGRESSION LCH is relatively more common in children than in adults. [secure.ssa.gov]

    Well-localised bone pain is a common presenting symptom, with pain during both activity and rest. Lesions are lytic. Bone pain usually correlates with a radiologically evident lesion but lesions can be painless. [patient.info]

    Symptoms in adults may include: Bone pain Chest pain Cough Fever General discomfort, uneasiness, or ill feeling Increased amount of urine Rash Shortness of breath Thirst and increased drinking of fluids Weight loss There are no specific blood tests for [medlineplus.gov]

    Bone pain due to bone cysts (18%), rash (13%), and polyuria due to central diabetes insipidus (5%) are the most common manifestations of extrapulmonary involvement and occur in up to 15% of patients, rarely being the presenting symptoms of PLCH. [msdmanuals.com]

He was advised to stop smoking and put on inhalers by his GP who then referred this patient to one of the respiratory physician for further workup and management.

  • Reticulonodular Pattern

    Diagnosis was suspected when a reticulonodular pattern was detected by conventional X-ray or by computerized tomography of the lungs. Laboratory tests were altered nonspecifically, and lung function was impaired. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

    Imaging: His CXR shows a bilateral, predominantly mid- and upper-zone reticulonodular pattern with some small cystic areas in the upper lobes. There is mild bilateral hilar adenopathy. [ucdenver.edu]

    Plain radiograph The earliest change is a diffuse bilateral symmetrical reticulonodular pattern with a predilection for the mid and upper zones. The ill-defined nodules range from 1-10 mm in size. [radiopaedia.org]
