Necrobiotic pulmonary nodules - Crohn disease

Discussion:

This is a rare case of cavitary lung nodules in a patient with Crohn's disease. Treatment with corticosteroid is usually very effective, and follow-up CT-scan may even normalize.

The differential diagnosis, in this case, is done using the CAVITY mnemonic. Drug-induced lung disease must be kept in mind in patient with Crohn's disease, since they are often treated with multiple drugs.
