Granulomatous interstitial pneumonitis in association with primary hypogammaglobulinemia: computed tomography appearances.
The authors describe the computed tomographic appearances of nonspecific granulomatous interstitial pneumonitis in two patients with primary hypogammaglobulinemia. Their purpose is to show that it is important to consider this entity in the differential diagnosis of multiple pulmonary nodules in patients with this disease.
