Abstract EN
Various typical and atypical imaging findings for pulmonary sarcoidosis have been described in the literature.
Ground-glass opacities are one of the atypical manifestations, reported as diffuse or patchy ill-defined opacities frequently associated with additional findings and interstitial nodules.
We performed a literature review to determine if our case had previously been described.
The literature describes cases of mass-like consolidations, but there are no reports of mass-like ground-glass opacities.
The appearance of the ground-glass opacities in our case is unique, appearing as discrete well-defined mass-like ground-glass opacities in a peribronchovascular distribution without additional parenchymal findings typically seen in sarcoidosis.
