A solitary pulmonary nodule due to eosinophilic granuloma.
A symptomless 42 year old man with a smoking history of 40 pack-years presented with a solitary pulmonary nodule highly suggestive of lung cancer. Wedge resection proved it to be an eosinophilic granuloma. No other localizations of eosinophilic granuloma were found, and none developed during a 3 yr follow-up.
