Pulmonary hyalinizing granuloma involving the diaphragm and the pericardium

Abstract

Pulmonary hyalinizing granuloma (PHG) is a rare disorder and is a pertinent differential for lung diseases with multiple pulmonary nodules. Natural history of this disease is not known. Although the usual course is benign, a close follow‑up of these cases is necessary. We herein report a case of PHG involving the diaphragm and the heart, detected on autopsy in a 57‑year‑old male who suffered a road traffic accident.
