Manifestazioni radiologiche atipiche della sarcoidosi toracica

Sarcoidosis is a granulomatous disease of unknown etiology which mainly involves the lung parenchyma and intrathoracic lymphnodes. Radiologically the granulomatous infiltration of these tissues is generally represented by characteristic findings, which can lead to a correct diagnosis in an appropriate clinical context. However, a wide range of different "atypical" radiologic forms can create considerable problems in differential diagnosis. This article describes some unusual sarcoidosis cases.
