Abstract

Pulmonary hyalinizing granuloma is a rare fibrosing nodular disease of the lung characterized by solitary or multiples pulmonary nodules. This report describes two cases of this rare disorder. MRI was available in one case. For the first case, the stability of the lesions and past history of retroperitoneal fibrosis suggested the diagnosis. For the second case, open lung biopsy was required for diagnosis. When multiple nodules are present, metastatic disease cannot be excluded and biopsy may be required. Evolution is usually benign but follow up is necessary.
