Histiocytosis, Langerhans cell histiocytosis is also known as X. Although it usually affects the bones in 80% of cases, can lead to systemic and affect other organs, particularly the lungs. Pulmonary histiocytosis X is characterized by inflammation of small airways characterized (bronchi) and small blood vessels in the lungs. It is more common in adults. This inflammation leads to a stiffening (fibrosis) and destruction of alveolar walls) (parts of the lung. The cause is unknown. Persons between 30 and 40 years are most often affected. Smokers represent 90% of patients (second-hand smoke from his mother would be logical). His CT showed fibrosis probably associated with their disease sometimes are.
If no fibrosis, not to MUCh for concern. If you fibrosis, then I would say there is some cause for concern. I suffer from pulmonary fibrosis. Even if I do not Langerhans is my illness, an autoimmune disease (Langerhans, which by now) as many as autoimmune diseases and cancer. If you have fibrosis, is the message size. Unfortunately, the lungs can not heal the wounds and it seems that is when the process begins, it is difficult to stop. I hope your doctor is a pulmonary specialist. If not, and if you fibrosis forget consult a doctor immediately lungs. Since I discovered earlier, they can intervene in the situation, with steroids or interferon gamma 1st For more information about pulmonary fibrosis, go to

Unfortunately, I could not better news.
I feel that I am faced with this again.
Shading in the lung in an X-ray means you have something that is deposited in the lungs, the white blood cells that can be displayed. CT has a better idea of what work you made available. It was the word you are looking for "compliant"? This means that the TC seems to have histiocytosis of the lung (which the lungs) I read Langerhans, and said that the white blood cells accumulate in organs, can probably what happens, your lungs.
This information I have for you, I wish I could help more.
