Sažetak

Due to its varying and often mimicking appearance, sarcoidosis is considered one of the great imitators in medicine.
A rare form of pulmonary sarcoidosis, the nodular form, can be mistaken for disseminated malignancy. We present the case of 38-year-old patient, whose chest x ray demonstrated a large number of pulmo- nary nodules, more than 1 cm in diameter, predominantly in a peripheral distribution, with bilaterally enlarged hila, thus making disseminated malignant disease a part of differential diagnosis.
The sight of multiple lung nodules can be very suggestive for metastatic disease and misleading in every- day clinical practice.
