Pulmonary hyalinising granuloma: A rare cause of multiple lung nodules in lung cancer clinic

Here we report a case of Pulmonary Hyalinising Granuloma (PHG) presenting with mild to moderate FDG positive nodules in an individual with a high risk of cancer. We explore the considerations in interpreting imaging findings and assess the benefits and risks of undertaking invasive investigations su...
