Abstract

The authors report a case of multivisceral sarcoidosis which started in childhood and presented at radiography as multiple air-filled round cavities without signs of pulmonary fibrosis. The course of the disease was marked by progression of the bullae from apex to base and by the development of intracavitary aspergillosis responsible for haemoptysis.
