Implication

Case presentation reveals atypical pulmonary lesions and their unique radiological characteristics, suggesting further investigation is important.

Key Points

To explore the radiological and histopathological characteristics of pulmonary crystal-storing histiocytosis without associated hematological diseases.
Case presentation of a 59-year-old male with incidental pulmonary lesions identified on CT imaging.
Histopathological analysis of resected lung tissue following right upper lobectomy.
Long-term follow-up of more than seven years post-diagnosis.
CT imaging showed cystic, cavitary lesions with surrounding ground-glass opacities.
Histopathological analysis confirmed pulmonary crystal-storing histiocytosis with crystalloid material present in histiocytes.
No evidence of lymphoproliferative or plasma cell disorder during over ten years of surveillance.
