Abstract
Aim. The aim of this study was to investigate exocrine gland cysts occurrence in the tracheal and bronchial walls of patients with chronic lung diseases.
Methods. We examined 68 patients with lung carcinoma, pulmonary tuberculosis and chronic non-specific lung disease. The airway mucosa was visualized using an original device for powder spraying (Patent RF ‡‚ 2053801) and aerosol of 5 g of bioinertial tantalum particles with a size of Ѓ’ 1 ѓКm. X-ray images made immediately and in 24 and 48 hours after the spraying showed the tantalum particle sedimentation on the mucosa surface and in excretory ducts of the exocrine glands. A presence of "risk zones", their location, size, and borders were identified as well as the particle concentration in these zones.
Results. We have shown that multi-layer bands up to 3 mm in thickness were found just after spraying; duct dilation and retentional cysts 3.10 mm in size were observed in the exocrine glands. The number of the cyst differed between patients from 1 to 6.
Conclusion. It seems to be reasonable that these changes could be considered as different stages of cyst development in the tracheal and bronchial
wall exocrine glands.
