  		Fig. 1B. —Giant cell interstitial pneumonia in 47-year-old man. High-resolution (1.0-mm collimation) CT scans obtained with lung window settings at levels of inferior pulmonary vein (B) and liver dome (C) show patchy ground-glass opacities containing irregular linear opacities in both lungs. Nodule (arrow, C) is calcified granuloma.

  		Fig. 2B. —Giant cell interstitial pneumonia in 52-year-old man. High-resolution (1.0-mm collimation) CT scans obtained with lung window settings at levels of suprahepatic inferior vena cava (B) and liver dome (C) show subpleural ground-glass opacities, irregular linear opacities, and honeycombing in both lungs with lower lung zone predominance.
