Polycystic pneumonia, often referred to in the context of certain diseases like cystic fibrosis or other pulmonary conditions, is characterized by the presence of multiple cystic lesions in the lungs. These cysts can lead to respiratory symptoms such as coughing, difficulty breathing, and recurrent infections. The condition may arise from various underlying causes, including genetic disorders or infections, and requires medical evaluation for proper diagnosis and treatment. Management typically focuses on addressing the underlying cause and alleviating symptoms.
There are several polycystic syndromes known. Two of the more commonly studied are polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) and polycystic kidney disease (PKD). These diseases form many cysts over an area.
