Guest guest Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 Hi all, There is " Bronchiecstasis " and then there is " Traction Bronchiecstasis. " The former issue (of which there are 3 manifestations) is caused by inflammation and the latter is a product of lung scarring i.e. Pulmonary Fibrosis. Thus it is quite common for us to see the word in our radiological analysis. UIP/LCH 5.06 CA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
