The computed tomographic “tree‐in‐bud” pattern: Characterization and comparison with radiographic and clinical findings in 36 cats

In conclusion, the “tree‐in‐bud” pattern should be considered as a differential diagnosis for radiographic soft tissue opaque nodules in feline lungs. Based on lesion localization and presence or suspicion of a concomitant bronchial disease for cats in this sample, authors propose that the CT “tree‐in‐bud” pattern described in humans is also a characteristic of bronchial or bronchiolar plugging and bronchial disease in cats.
