Abstract:Diffuse Cystic Lung Disease (CLD) is rare and its etiology is unclear. This disease is more progressive if occurs in children. The frequent complications are pneumonia and pneumothorax. The management and prognosis of CLD is varied and difficult to predict. We report a caseof CLD in a child who had pneumonia and spontaneous pneumothorax. Although clinically improved after treatment and subsequentlytreated as outpatient, but bilateral pneumothorax is still present and chest tube is still inserted.
