title: [Differential diagnosis of multiple pulmonary coin lesions--pulmonary hyaline granuloma].
abstract: In addition to metastases, the differential diagnosis of pulmonary nodules also includes tuberculosis, sarcoidosis, and silicosis. Rarer diseases such as amyloid tumors, rheumatic nodules, and plasma-cell granulomas can, depending on the clinical situation, be the cause of this finding. For the example of the clinical picture of pulmonary hyalinizing granuloma, the differential diagnosis of multiple pulmonary nodules is illustrated under consideration of the pathognomonic, morphologic observations.
