examination of the lungs at autopsy shows nodular areas of chronic pneumonitis with necrotizing arteritis and focal collections of epithelioid histiocytes. The most likely diagnosis is
a)desquamative interstitial pneumonia
B)goodpasture’s syndrome
C)histiocytosis X
D)idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
E)pulmonary alveolar proteinosis
f)sarcoidosis
G)wegener’s granulomatosis

Probably G. Really difficult question I might add. No demographics or anything. But with Wegner's the presentation is usually with sinusitis, fever, and EYE symptoms. This is really hard one!

G, necrotizing arteritis put me between Wegener & GPS, but nodular areas of chronic pneumonitis & focal collections of epithelioid histiocytes indicate wegener over GPS
