  		Fig. 1 —61-year-old woman with predominant CT finding of honeycombing (arrow), which is highly specific for usual interstitial pneumonitis. Findings at surgical lung biopsy were consistent with usual interstitial pneumonitis.

  		Fig. 2 — 60-year-old woman with predominant CT finding of bilateral multiple thin-walled lung cysts (white arrow) uniformly distributed from lung apex to base. Incidental small left pneumothorax (black arrow) is evident. Left renal and left adrenal gland masses were found and surgically removed. Both masses were histologically proven angiomyolipoma. Lung changes were presumed to be due to lymphangiomyomatosis.

  		Fig. 3 —51-year-old man with CT finding of nodular peribronchovascular interstitial thickening (arrow). Results of transbronchial biopsy were positive for multiple epithelioid granuloma in alveolar parenchyma and bronchial wall, suggesting sarcoidosis. Results of special stains for acid-fast bacilli and fungi were negative.

  		Fig. 4 —56-year-old woman with predominant CT finding of ground-glass opacification. Centrilobular ground-glass opacities are diffusely distributed in craniocaudal direction with no other predominant findings recorded. Histologic diagnosis was hypersensitivity pneumonitis.
