  • Title: Necrotizing granuloma of the lung: imaging characteristics and imaging-guided diagnosis.
    Author: Thiessen R, Seely JM, Matzinger FR, Agarwal P, Burns KL, Dennie CJ, Peterson R.
    Journal: AJR Am J Roentgenol; 2007 Dec; 189(6):1397-401. PubMed ID: 18029876.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to assess CT findings and the sensitivities of imaging-guided fine-needle aspiration (FNA) biopsy and core needle biopsy in the diagnosis of necrotizing granuloma of the lung. CONCLUSIONS: The CT characteristics of necrotizing granuloma are indistinguishable from those of malignant tumors; tissue diagnosis therefore is necessary. Core needle biopsy is a sensitive method for diagnosing necrotizing granuloma of the lung, but FNA biopsy is insufficient for diagnosis.
