Pseudocavitary granulomas of the lung
N Bancks
and
J Zornoza
Due to the high lipid content of the caseous material in granulomas of the lung, these lesions may radiographically mimic truly cavitated pulmonary neoplasms or granulomas. Four cases of pseudocavitation within granulomas of the lung are presented along with their clinical, radiographic, and pathologic features. In all four cases diagnosis was made only after surgery.
