Hello
Thank you for trusting HCM
Dear before discussing about the treatment we have to know basic information or at least chest xray or CT chest report. Many causes for cysts in the lungs example :hydatid cyst, honey coombing,
Cystic bronchetasis, pneumocystis pneumonia, Staphylococcus infection, Langerhans'cell histiocytosis, sjogrens, etc..
So depending on the cause treatment may vary, I think I answered to your question if you have more questions please feel free to ask.
