چکیده
abstract necrotizing sarcoid granulomatosis (nsg) is a rare disease which is classified in the spectrum of pulmonary angiitis and granulomatosis. it is a variant of sarcoidosis and differs from it histologically. diagnosis is based on the pathological features, but radiology may help in the differential diagnosis. it is characterized by alveolar infiltrates or parenchymal nodules in multidetector computed tomography (mdct). we report a case of a 50-year-old man with the diagnosis of nsg mimicking lung malignancy. radiological and pathological findings and also the destructive course of the disease will be discussed.

متن کاملNecrotizing sarcoid granulomatosis with extrapulmonary involvement.
Pulmonary lesions, with sarcoid-like granulomas exhibiting noncaseous necrosis, with associated granulomatous arteritis fulfil the diagnostic criteria of necrotizing sarcoid granulomatosis (NSG). We report the case of a woman who presented with recurrent headaches, transient right hemipareses and left-sided ophthalmoplegia. An excised left retro-orbital lesion demonstrated sarcoid like changes,...
متن کاملCandida esophagitis mimicking esophageal malignancy on 18FDG PET/CT.
Fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (18FDG) positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET/CT) has been widely used in detecting malignancy. However, benign conditions, including infections and inflammatory lesions, may also show 18FDG accumulation (1). Although candida esophagitis is the most common cause of esophagitis in immunocompromised patients (2), it can also occur in patients with no...
متن کاملDermatofibroma mimicking malignancy on integrated F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose PET-CT.
A 31-year-old female with a history of ovarian cancer underwent an F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) scan. The PET-CT demonstrated focal nodular uptake in the subcutaneous tissue of the back adjacent to the paraspinal muscles. Color Doppler ultrasonography examination demonstrated a vascular solid mass. The patient underwent biopsy followed ...
