Selected images from diagnostic testing. (A) Ultrasonography image of the left kidney measuring 13.1 cm, with hyperechoic foci with twinkle artifact likely representing small calculi. (B) Chest radiograph demonstrating bilateral hilar fullness likely secondary to lymphadenopathy and faint bilateral upper lobes linear airspace opacity. (C) Representative slice from computed tomography of the chest showing several scattered parenchymal cystic lesions. (D) Light microscopy with large granuloma and giant cells with calcification★ (H&E, original magnification ×400). (E) Light microscopy showing extensive infiltration of renal cortex by granulomatous inflammation composed of epithelioid histiocytes and multinucleated giant cells▲ without necrosis, which surround entrapped tubules, glomeruli, and arteries (H&E, original magnification ×400). H&E, hematoxylin and eosin.
