Abstract:
Granulomatous lung diseases are frequently occurring pulmonary diseases.Important granulomatous lung diseases are sarcoidosis and pulmonary tuberculosis. Furthermore, granulomas can be caused by foreign body reactions like berylliosis or silicosis as well as by other infections (e. g. by nocardia spp.).Granulomatous systemic inflammatory diseases such as the Churg Strauss syndrome or the Wegener's granulomatosis can harm the lung as well.In this case report, we describe a patient who visited our emergency room because of apparent refractory pneumonia. First histologic specimens showed sarcoid-like lesions. Subsequent investigation showed invasive mucinous adenocarcinoma of the lung.

The Bronchial Tree
The trachea, commonly known as the windpipe, is a tube that connects the larynx (voice box) to the bronchi. At a point called the carina, it bifurcates into two primary bronchi. The right primary bronchus is wider, shorter, and more vertical than the left primary...
