Orth16 cites Rindfleisch, and von Stössel22 refers to Buhl,6 who used the term "muscular cirrhosis of the lung" for the condition. Arnold,1 however, had noted muscular hyperplasia of the pleura in 1867, and referred to a thesis by Leo-Wolf13 published in 1832. Rubenstein et al.,19 in reporting two cases, suggested "muscular hyperplasia" as the term which describes the pathology most adequately.Proliferation of smooth muscle has been described in "honeycomb" lungs,12in the walls of congenital cysts,2cystic transformation of the lung,17...Bibliography1.
