| Core Tip |
Primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) can present as granulomatous lung disease when the lungs are involved. A patient with pulmonary granulomatous disease secondary to PBC was misdiagnosed with lung cancer by positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT), leading to unnecessary lobectomy. The symptoms and imaging of pulmonary granulomatous disease secondary to PBC are nonspecific. It also appears as high fluorodeoxyglucose uptake on PET/CT scan. Diagnosis should not rely solely on PET/CT findings but should consider clinical data, lung aspiration biopsy, and immune-related disease indexes to avoid unnecessary physical and financial burden. |
