Case 20

This radiograph demonstrates severe cylindrical bronchiectasis, also referred to as tubular bronchiectasis, in an adult patient with cystic fibrosis. This patient has symmetric upper lobe disease which is a common pattern in this condition, though other distributions are not uncommon.

An implanted port is also seen with the tip terminating in the superior vena cava. The port reservoir is placed in the inferior chest wall in this patient, which is an unusual location.
