The latter is secondary to pulmonary infection, such as emphysematous bullae, parasitic cysts and post infection cysts. Giant cysts can produce dyspnea, accompanied by infection with fever, cough, hemoptysis and other symptoms. Rupture of the cyst can cause hydropneumothorax.

matters needing attention

Pulmonary cyst is a benign lesion, but with the enlargement of the cyst and repeated infection, it can aggravate the lung function damage and secondary Aspergillus infection, bleeding, and even canceration. Medical treatment can only improve the symptoms, so surgical treatment should be carried out as soon as possible. The operation depends on the location, size and number of cysts. Lobectomy was performed on only one lobe; Compound lobectomy was performed in patients with multiple right lobes; The patients with multiple cysts involving one side of the whole lung and showing honeycomb lesions were treated with pneumonectomy; Cysts located in mediastinum were removed. We should pay attention to the relationship between the cyst and its adjacent organs and remove the cyst wall thoroughly. If there is a passage to the esophagus or tracheobronchial, the passage should be removed and the esophagus or tracheobronchial should be repaired.
