Pulmonary granulomatosis are lung diseases due to inflammatory lesions with characteristic histiocyte reactions seen in granulomas often composed of epithelioid and giant cell formations. There are a number of pathological entities depending upon whether the aetiology is infectious or immunologic. The pathologist is asked to determine the type of reaction and to identify the greatest number of elements possible for the aetiologic diagnosis.

D012507	Sarcoidosis	An idiopathic systemic inflammatory granulomatous disorder comprised of epithelioid and multinucleated giant cells with little necrosis. It usually invades the lungs with fibrosis and may also involve lymph nodes, skin, liver, spleen, eyes, phalangeal bones, and parotid glands.

D014657	Vasculitis	Inflammation of any one of the blood vessels, including the ARTERIES; VEINS; and rest of the vasculature system in the body.	Angiitis,Angiitides,Vasculitides
D014890	Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis	A multisystemic disease of a complex genetic background. It is characterized by inflammation of the blood vessels (VASCULITIS) leading to damage in any number of organs. The common features include granulomatous inflammation of the RESPIRATORY TRACT and KIDNEYS. Most patients have measurable autoantibodies (ANTINEUTROPHIL CYTOPLASMIC ANTIBODIES) against MYELOBLASTIN.

D015267	Churg-Strauss Syndrome	Widespread necrotizing angiitis with granulomas. Pulmonary involvement is frequent. Asthma or other respiratory infection may precede evidence of vasculitis. Eosinophilia and lung involvement differentiate this disease from POLYARTERITIS NODOSA.
