CTICasesSarcoidosis involving the intrapulmonary lymphoid tissue (IPL)
Imaging findings
CT chest shows multiple tiny subpleural and bronchovascular nodules. Focal, nodular expansion is present at the branching points of the bronchovascular bundles, representing sarcoid involvement of the IPL.
Key takeaways
Intrapulmonary lymphoid tissue is located along the bronchovascular bundles and can become hypertrophied or infiltrated in granulomatous diseases like sarcoidosis, presenting as focal nodules at vessel branch points.
