[Bronchocentric granulomatosis]. 1989

J Stumpner, and W Wöckel

We describe the case of a 53-year-old woman patient with recurrent attacks of fever, in whom, both roentgenologically and computer-tomographically, a shadow was found in the anterior upper lobe segment of the right lung, and a presumptive diagnosis of a tumour in underlying retention pneumonia was established. For this reason, this segment was resected. The histologic work-up of the surgical specimen revealed bronchocentric granulomatosis. The clinical and morphological findings, together with differential diagnostic considerations of this relatively rare disease, are discussed.
