Pulmonary sarcoidosis: calcified micronodular pattern simulating pulmonary alveolar microlithiasis
J Thorac Imaging.

Abstract
A case of sarcoidosis demonstrating an unusual pattern of profuse micronodular calcification is presented. The striking similarity with the so-called pathognomonic appearance of pulmonary alveolar microlithiasis and the progressive deterioration of pulmonary function are emphasized.
