Hyalinizing granulomas are benign fibrotic lesions that generally present multiple nodules seen on radiological examinations, which are frequently cavitary and/or calcified lesions. We report a case of a 28 year-old-woman with hyalinizing granulomas probably secondary to a previous tuberculosis infection. Hyalinizing granulomas should be included in the differential diagnosis of patients with multiple pulmonary nodules.

This paper describes the high-resolution computed tomography and anatomopathological findings of pulmonary lymphomas. We studied the chest high-resolution computed tomographies and histopathological data of 10 patients with biopsy-proven non-Hodgkin's or Hodgkin's disease. The most common radiologic findings in this series were areas of consolidation with air-bronchogram (n = 8). Other findings included multiple pulmonary nodules (n = 4), thickening of bronchovascular bundles (n = 3) and foci of ground-glass attenuation (n = 2). The present series results are consistent with the current available literature on radiographic appearance of the disease. The pathological correspondence of the areas of airspace consolidation was alveolar filling by neoplastic cells, the thickening of bronchovascular bundles was secondary to lymphomatous cells infiltrates, and the areas of ground-glass attenuation corresponded to alveolar septal infiltration by these cells.

The aim of this study was to correlate the early findings observed on high-resolution computed tomography with anatomopathology results of patients with angioinvasive aspergillosis. The authors studied two patients with leukemia. The nodules seen on high-resolution computed tomography corresponded to areas of hemorrhagic infarction, necrotic coagulation and fungal hyphae infiltration whereas ground glass halo corresponded to intraalveolar hemorrhage. Nodules with halo sign were closely correlated with anatomopathology findings. We concluded that the anatomopathology findings can clearly explain the image features of the lesions observed on high-resolution computed tomography.

The purpose of this study is to report the main high-resolution computed tomography findings of two patients with lymphocytic interstitial pneumonia. High-resolution computed tomography findings were correlated with pathology findings of material obtained from open biopsies. One patient had diffuse ground glass opacities seen on high-resolution computed tomography whereas the other patient had peribroncovascular thickening. Anatomopathology studies showed that the main pattern was polyclonal lymphocyte interstitial infiltration, particularly along alveolar septa. The current study demonstrated a close correlation between high-resolution computed tomography and anatomopathology findings.
