Presentamos dos casos de histiocitosis X pulmonar (hXp) estudiados con tomografía axial computarizada de alta resolución, técnica radiológica que mejor muestra, en el momento actual, las alteraciones de la arquitectura del parénquima, que en esta enfermedad está caracterizado por la presencia de pequeños quistes y nodulos distribuidos de manera difusa. Estos hallazgtos, en un contexto clínico adecuado, son muy sugerentes de hXp.

Two cases of pulmonary X histiocytosis (PXH) studied with high resolution computerized axial tomography are presented. To date, this radiologic technique best demonstrates alterations in the structure of the parenchyma which, in this disease, is characterized by the presence of small diffuse cysts and nodules. In an adequate clinical context, these findings are very suggestive of PXH.
