We encountered 2 cases of intrapulmonary lymph node. Case 1 was in a 48-year-old woman who had been given a diagnosis of progressive systemic sclerosis. Case 2 was in a 49-year-old woman with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. In each patient, a follow-up chest CT scan showed a pulmonary nodule, which could not be seen on chest X-ray film. Each nodule has an irregular margin and a linear shadow resembling pleural indentation. Histological examination of the open biopsy specimens revealed that these nodules were intrapulmonary lymph nodes surrounded by interstitial pneumonia. Previous case reports and these 2 cases indicate that unless a thoracotomy is done intrapulmonary lymph nodes are difficult to distinguish from lung cancers.
