Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 7
Abstract
Pulmonary hyalinising granuloma is rare, non-infectious fibrosclerosing lesions of the lung which can mimic with metastatic disease. It was first described in literature by Engleman et al in the year 1977. Pulmonary hyalinizing granuloma presents as multiple, mostly bilateral, recurrent pulmonary nodules that affect patients of both genders with equal frequency. Its etiology and pathogenesis is yet to be well defined. We report the case of a 57 year old woman presented with worsening of dry cough & dyspnoea for last 11 months. Her CT scan shows multiple pulmonary nodules, CT guided FNAC shows non-specific inflammatory cells. Biopsy of pulmonary lesion is consistent with pulmonary hyalinizing granuloma(PHG). Keywords: Pulmonary hyalinizing granuloma,pulmonary nodule.
