| Sumario: | Swyer-James-MacLeod syndrome is a rare, complex disease characterized by the radiological finding of unilateral hyperlucent lung due to pulmonary oligaemia and alveolar hyperdistention as a consequence of previous obliterative bronchiolitis (bronchiolitis obliterans). Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is a chronic, progressive, fibrosing interstitial pneumonia of unknown cause characterized by bilateral, chronic, progressive and irreversible fibrosis limited to the lungs. We report an interesting case of Swyer-James-MacLeod syndrome affecting one lung and Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis affecting the contralateral lung. |
