Nodular lung disease is a rare pulmonary manifestation of sarcoidosis and resembles metastatic neoplasm disease. Nodular sarcoidosis is rare, varying from 1.6% to 4% of patients with sarcoidosis. Radiographic nodules measure from 1 to 5 cm in diameter that typically consist of coalescent granulomas. There is limited data on this form of sarcoidosis and its presentation can mimic primary or metastatic pulmonary neoplasms. Nodular sarcoidosis has a favorable prognosis, and resolution can be seen with oral corticosteroids. Herein, we present such a case of nodular pulmonary sarcoidosis with a lung nodule measured up to 6 cm.
结节性肺病是结节病罕见的肺部表现,类似转移性肿瘤疾病。结节性结节病很罕见,在结节病患者中占1.6%至4%。影像学上的结节直径为1至5厘米,通常由融合的肉芽肿组成。关于这种形式的结节病的数据有限,其表现可模仿原发性或转移性肺肿瘤。结节性结节病预后良好,口服皮质类固醇可见病情缓解。在此,我们报告一例肺部结节性结节病病例,其肺部结节直径达6厘米。
