- Abstract
A 44‑year‑old male was referred to our clinic (2015) to evaluate multiple lung nodules with increasing fatigue, dyspnea, and weight loss. He was being assessed to an outside hospital for the same since 2010. The X‑ray and computed‑tomography (CT)‑chest showed numerous pulmonary nodules and bilateral hilar adenopathy. Imaging workup at our institute (2015) redemonstrated extensive calcified pulmonary nodules. 18fluoro‑2‑deoxy‑d‑glucose positron emission tomographyCT showed widespread pulmonary nodules with low‑grade uptake. Video‑assisted thoracic surgery lung biopsy revealed pulmonary hyalinizing granuloma (PHG). Recently because of increasing symptoms, he is being evaluated for a lung transplant. This case represents a rare diagnosis of PHG with a decade follow‑up.
