Abstract

Technically speaking any shadow or abnormality in the lung parenchyma can be considered a tumorlike lesion. However, in this chapter, we will concentrate only on all those lesions that, although unusual, represent true pathological processes. Nevertheless, it is impossible and to some extent impractical to be too inclusive; therefore, we will limit to present those lesions that not only represent a challenge in diagnosis but also may be encountered in the daily practice. It is important to note that these lesions by themselves do not have any relationship among them and truly represent miscellaneous conditions. In order to facilitate their study, we have arbitrarily divided them into histiocytic and nonhistiocytic lesions.
