    Abstract:
    A distinctive form of sarcoidosis is reported. A young woman, without any past medical history, presented with a cannon-ball radiographic appearance and a fever, suggesting an infection or underlying neoplasm. A lung biopsy gave the diagnosis of sarcoidosis after negative fibreoptic bronchoscopy, bronchial lavage and needle biopsy. This macronodular form of sarcoidosis is known but rarely described. There was a favourable clinical and radiological outcome, which occurred spontaneously.
