pulmonary sarcoidosis findings include mediastinal lymphadenopathy and perilymphatic nodules
- related: sarcoidosis
- tags: #permanent
- pulmonary sarcoidosis with nodules along the oblique fissures
- distribution is patchy
- more proximal/central involvement of nodular consolidation
- fissure involvement
- lack of air bronchogram differentiates sarcoidosis from hypersensitivity pneumonitis: hypersensitivity pneumonitis can have centrilobular nodules with air bronchogram formation
Other findings
- septal thickening
- air trapping
- fibrosis
- rarely cavitation and pleural effusions 1
