  • Title: Pulmonary hyalinizing granuloma and retroperitoneal fibrosis in an adolescent.
    Author: Young AS, Binkovitz LA, Adler BH, Nicol KK, Rennebohm RM.
    Journal: Pediatr Radiol; 2007 Jan; 37(1):91-5. PubMed ID: 17061085.
    Abstract:
    We describe a 15-year-old boy who developed pulmonary hyalinizing granuloma (PHG) and retroperitoneal fibrosis (RPF). His PHG and RPF were not associated with histoplasmosis or tuberculosis and appeared to represent idiopathic autoimmune phenomena. This is the first reported case of PHG in a pediatric patient and the fourth reported co-occurrence of PHG and RPF. The use of F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography in the diagnostic and follow-up evaluation of PHG is reported.
