Case Report (n=1)
Case report of a 53-year-old man presenting with multiple bilateral pulmonary nodules.
Prompts consideration of rare etiologies in bilateral pulmonary nodules after negative malignancy workup; leaves open validation in larger series.
Presentation of Case First admission. A 53-year-old man was admitted to the hospital because of multiple bilateral pulmonary-nodules.He was well until three years earlier, when symptoms of a respiratory tract infection were followed by a chronic nonproductive cough. Two months before admission he began to cough up blood-tinged sputum. Subsequently, an x-ray film of the chest showed scattered bilateral pulmonary nodules, less than 10 mm in diameter, without intrinsic calcification. An intravenous urographic examination, a barium-enema examination, and an upper gastrointestinal study were negative, and cytologic examination of sputum was negative for tumor cells. He was referred to this . . .
