Tree in Bud Appearance: CT
This is 13 year old child with mother who is sputum positive for TB. CT scan shows Tree in Bud lesions showing an appearance of multiple areas of centrilobular nodules with a linear branching pattern. This finding is considered classical for endobronchial TB as in this case. However, has been described in other conditions as well.
Endobronchial infections like pulmonary tuberculosis, bronchiolitis, bronchiectasis with mucus plugging in cystic fibrosis are other classical causes.
