ABSTRACT We present a case of pulmonary hyalinising granuloma, a rare benign disease of unknown aetiology, diagnosed using lung nodule biopsy. Glucocorticoid treatment reduced the nodule size and was effective for 5 years. However, there was persistent inflammation, indicating the need for safer treatment options for long‐term survival.
