[The multifocal form of bronchocentric granulomatosis].
Bronchocentric granulomatosis is a rare entity and has only recently been characterised. We report a case of a forty-three year old man presenting with multifocal bronchocentric granulomatosis which was revealed following some oto-rhino-laryngological and bronchopulmonary symptoms. The open lung biopsy confirmed the diagnosis. Treatment was by bolus doses of corticosteroids (30 mg/kg) and of methotrexate in low dosage (7.5 mg/week, then 15 mg/week) which checked the initially unfavourable outcome.
