  • Title: Necrotizing sarcoid granulomatosis: computed tomography and pathologic findings.
    Author: Niimi H, Hartman TE, Müller NL.
    Journal: J Comput Assist Tomogr; 1995; 19(6):920-3. PubMed ID: 8537526.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To describe the CT findings and corresponding pathological findings of necrotizing sarcoid granulomatosis (NSG). MATERIALS AND METHODS: We reviewed the high-resolution CT and macroscopic and histologic findings in three pathologically proven cases of NSG. RESULTS: The CT findings consisted of one case each with single nodule, multiple nodules, and parenchymal opacification. The abnormalities were peribronchovascular or subpleural in distribution. Histologically, all patients had sarcoid-like granulomas with central necrosis and granulomatous vasculitis. The CT findings correlated closely with the gross pathologic findings. CONCLUSION: We conclude that the CT manifestations of NSG reflect the variable macroscopic pathologic findings.
