Core Tip	Lung cancer associated with cystic airspaces is often delayed diagnosis. We report a case in which the lesion evolved from a thin-walled cyst to advanced lung squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). The SCC manifested as rare clustered cystic lesions in bilateral lungs. There are air-fluid levels, compartments and bronchial arteries in the cyst. Additionally, there was no obvious extrathoracic metastasis. After chemotherapy, the lesions became clustered thin-walled cysts. Our report highlights SCC should be a diagnostic consideration in thin-walled cyst as well as multiple clustered cystic lesions.
