Bronchocentric granulomatosis, a rare lung disease, presents variably and requires histological diagnosis via lung biopsy. Prompt treatment, including corticosteroids, leads to good prognoses for patients.

Area of Science:

  • Pulmonology
  • Pathology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Bronchocentric granulomatosis (BCG) is a rare condition that must be considered in the differential diagnosis of pulmonary nodules and tumors.
  • Accurate diagnosis often necessitates invasive procedures like open lung biopsy.

Observation:

  • Two cases are presented: a 78-year-old woman with multiple pulmonary nodules and Aspergillus colonization, and an 83-year-old man with a large left upper lobe mass.
  • Both patients achieved sustained remission with corticosteroid therapy.

Findings:

  • Bronchocentric granulomatosis exhibits variable clinical and radiological appearances, challenging previous classifications.
  • The etiology remains uncertain, but granulomatous inflammation may be a common response to diverse triggers.
  • Histological confirmation via surgical lung biopsy is essential for definitive diagnosis.

Implications:

  • Early and accurate diagnosis of BCG is crucial for effective management.
  • Treatment strategies, including surgery and/or corticosteroids, are associated with favorable patient outcomes.
  • Further research into the etiology of BCG may reveal a unified pathogenetic mechanism underlying its varied presentations.
