[A case of multiple pulmonary hyalinizing granuloma].
Pulmonary hyalinizing granulomata are unusual, noninfectious lesions of the lung of uncertain etiology. The pathologic entity may represent a peculiar form of pulmonary immune reaction. We report the history of a 23-year-old woman who had nodular lesions in the right lung without any other abnormalities. Non-invasive procedures didn't yield diagnosis. Thoracotomy was performed. During intraoperative microscopic examination of one of 4 nodules, neoplastic disease was excluded. Remaining 3 nodules were also resected. The pulmonary hyalinizing granuloma was recognised in the histological examination. Follow-up after 12 months didn't reveal recurrence.
