Abstract
Noninfectious granulomatous diseases of the lung consist of a diverse group of disorders that logically can be subdivided into those with and without associated vasculitis. This article reviews the epidemiologic, clinical, pa thologic, and radiologic features of sarcoidosis, hypersensitivity pneumoni tis, berylliosis, and the five entities traditionally classified as pulmona ry angiitis and granulomatosis.
