well-defined and ill-defined nodules diffusely throughout both lungs
 
nodules with a surrounding halo of ground-glass opacity, patchy ground-glass opacity, and coalescence of nodules are also seen
Radiographic features
 
Plain radiograph
multiple 5-10 mm ill-defined nodules that may be confluent and fleeting
small, round nodules usually resolve within a week after the disappearance of the skin lesions but may persist for months
lesions can calcify and can persist as numerous, well-defined, randomly scattered, 2-3 mm dense calcifications
