Chondroid hamartomas disseminated in both lung fields were discovered in a 76 year old man presenting with recurrent haemoptysis. In view of this metastatic cannonball appearance and the negative investigations, exploratory thoracotomy was performed, revealing the correct diagnosis. Although classical, this form of hamartoma is rare and warrants a case report.

While the skin is a common target organ for sarcoidosis, cutaneous granulomatous vasculitis is rare among patients with sarcoidosis. Due to the lack of detailed studies on cutaneous sarcoid vasculitis, both dermatologists and pathologists remain unfamiliar with this rare but important vasculitic disorder. We clinicopathologically evaluated eight cases with biopsy-proven cutaneous vasculitis and cutaneous sarcoidosis and analyzed morphologic changes in the process of vasculitis for both small vessels and muscular vessels in detail.

Sarcoidosis is a benign systemic disease; its diagnosis is based on a suggestive radiological presentation, and the isolation of an epithelioid and gigantocellular granuloma (EGGC) without caseous necrosis with the elimination of other causes of granuloma. However, sometimes the radiological presentation is atypical and misleading, posing problems in terms of differential diagnosis. In this report, we present a case of pseudotumor sarcoidosis, in which MRI played an essential role in characterizing the lesion and suggesting its benignity.
