Diagnosis With Brief Discussion

Diagnosis
Sarcoidosis
Radiologic Findings
Chest radiograph shows diffuse ill-defined nodules predominantly in both upper lung zones. Note mass like opacities in both upper lung zones. Thin-section CT scans show multiple ill defined lung nodules along bronchovascular bundles and a mass like opacity in the right upper lobe representing progressive massive fibrosis. Nasal mucosal biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of sarcoidosis 5 years ago. Pulmonary lesion increased in extent despite of treatment since that time.
