• Fig C 10-1 Tuberculosis.

• Fig C 10-2 Coccidioidomycosis. Coned view of the left lung shows a diffuse pattern of fine nodules simulating miliary tuberculosis.

• Fig C 10-3 Histoplasmosis. (A) Frontal and (B) lateral views.

• 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.

• Fig C 10-5 Alveolar cell carcinoma. Miliary pattern diffusely involving both lungs represents bronchogenic spread.

• Fig C 10-6 Silicosis.

• Fig C 10-7 Coal-workers' pneumoconiosis.

• Fig C 10-8 Chickenpox pneumonia. Bilateral, coarse miliary infiltrates distributed diffusely throughout both lungs.

• Fig C 10-9 Pulmonary hemosiderosis.27

• 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.

• Fig C 10-11 Listeriosis. Diffuse miliary pattern of coarse, irregular granular densities is distributed throughout both lungs.
