COMMENT: | |||
The sections show multiple sarcoid-like granulomas with both centrilobular and | |||
septal involvement. There is a slight upper lobe predominance of the disease. | |||
The main histomorphologic differential diagnoses are: sarcoidosis, | |||
infectious granulomatous pneumonia. | |||
Sarcoidosis is favoured based on the morphology of the granulomas and the | |||
lack of microorganisms with special stains (ZN, PASF, GMS). | |||
Clinical and radiologic correlation is required. | |||
