CT
On Chest CT, Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis is characterized by, bilateral ground-glass opacity, consolidation, centrilobular nodules, and bronchial wall thickening.[2]
- Bilateral ground-glass opacity can be seen in a patchy or subpleural distribution, with inclination most commonly occurring in the lower zone portion of the lung.
- Consolidations are commonly seen in a subpleural and lobular distribution. These consolidations generally present as hemorrhagic necrosis.
- Centrilobular nodules that appear in abundance are seen. They typically are less than 5 mm. They are commonly seen in the lesion of the ground-glass opacity.
