The document describes and shows images of 11 different conditions that present with miliary nodules on clinical imaging of the lungs. These conditions include tuberculosis, coccidioidomycosis, histoplasmosis, metastatic thyroid carcinoma, alveolar cell carcinoma, silicosis, coal-workers' pneumoconiosis, chickenpox pneumonia, pulmonary hemosiderosis, schistosomiasis, and listeriosis. For each condition, the document shows one or more chest x-ray images demonstrating the miliary nodule pattern involved in the lungs.
4. • Fig C 10-2 Coccidioidomycosis. Coned view of the left lung shows a
diffuse pattern of fine nodules simulating miliary tuberculosis.
5. • Fig C 10-3 Histoplasmosis. (A) Frontal and (B)
lateral views.
6. • Fig C 10-4 Metastatic thyroid carcinoma. (A)
Multiple fine miliary nodules scattered
throughout both lungs. (B) At a later stage, there
is a coarser miliary pattern.
7. • Fig C 10-5 Alveolar cell carcinoma. Miliary pattern diffusely
involving both lungs represents bronchogenic spread.
12. • Fig C 10-10 Schistosomiasis. Perivascular granulomas
produce small nodular and linear densities that are
distributed diffusely throughout the lungs in a miliary
pattern simulating tuberculosis.
13. • Fig C 10-11 Listeriosis. Diffuse miliary pattern
of coarse, irregular granular densities is
distributed throughout both lungs.
