CTICasesPulmonary Sarcoidosis with Pseudo-Plaques
Imaging findings
Chest CT of a female from West Africa shows symmetric upper lung-predominant, shaggy subpleural nodules and perilymphatic nodularity along the major fissures, simulating pleural plaques (pseudo-plaques), associated with mild hilar lymphadenopathy.
Key takeaways
Sarcoidosis can manifest with dense subpleural and fissural accumulation of granulomatous nodules. This creates a shaggy, irregular plaque-like appearance (pseudo-plaques) that must be distinguished from asbestos-related pleural plaques.
