Pulmonary sarcoidosis: calcified micronodular pattern simulating pulmonary alveolar microlithiasis.

abstract：:Hypersensitivity pneumonitis is an important but underdiagnosed form of interstitial lung disease. Its clinical hallmark is recurrent or chronic pulmonary symptoms of variable severity associated with an array of systemic symptoms but without extrapulmonary structural abnormalities. Clinical suspicion is the key to di...
