Abstract
Many lung diseases, first, tumors, are smoking-related, and it is very likely to find more than one pattern in the same patient. Airspace enlargement with fibrosis (AEF) is one of them, but it has not been deeply understood or studied yet. In fact, we think that it might still be wrongly assimilated with other conditions that have different radiological features altogether and different prognoses. This pictorial essay is aimed at pointing out AEF so that radiologists and pulmonologists get acquainted with it and use the proper terminology, as AEF might not be that rare.
