Abstract:Granulomas hialinizantes são lesões fibrosantes benignas que em geral se apresentam radiologicamente sob a forma de nódulos múltiplos, freqüentemente escavados e/ou calcificados. Neste trabalho é relatado o caso de uma paciente de 28 anos de idade que apresentou a doença provavelmente secundária a infecção tuberculosa prévia. Ressalta-se a necessidade da inclusão deste diagnóstico diferencial frente ao quadro radiológico de múltiplas lesões nodulares.
“…The patient reported was 70 years old. Although prognosis is generally good, given largely benign progression it can result in respiratory failure due to lesion growth and fibrosis [10].…”
