{Abstract}: Granulomas are frequently encountered by pathologists in all types of lung specimens and arise from diverse etiologies. They should always be reported as necrotizing or non-necrotizing, with microorganism stains performed to evaluate for infection. With attention to distribution, quality (poorly vs well-formed), associated features, and correlation with clinical, radiologic, and laboratory data, the differential diagnosis for granulomatous lung disease can usually be narrowed to a clinically helpful "short list." This review describes a practical approach to pulmonary granulomas and reviews the clinicopathological aspects of common entities, including infectious (mycobacteria, fungi) and noninfectious (hypersensitivity pneumonitis, sarcoid, and vasculitis) causes.
