Pulmonary myofibroblastic nodules with "amianthoid features".
Two consecutive publications appeared 1989 in the same number of a medical journal, which reported peculiar spindle-cell tumors with dense collagen or hyaline nodules, exclusively in inguinal lymph nodes of adults. The first series of 22 cases bore the title "Palisaded myofibroblastoma, a benign mesenchymal tumor of lymph node", the second with 6 identical cases "Intranodal hemorrhagic spindle-cell tumor with "amianthoid" fibers". The following case report deals with a similar tumorous lesion, with multiple small pulmonary nodules, without recognizable lymph node constituents.
