ABSTRACT
Although multinodular disease of the lung is a common characteristic of metastatic lung disease, numerous, non-malignant diseases may also present with a similar radiological picture. This is a report of the first case of a young female patient with nodular sarcoidosis and concurrent bronchiolitis obliterans - organizing pneumonia (BOOP) presenting withmultinodular lung disease and following a spontaneous benign course.
