A member asked:

Can granulomas cause mild dependent interstitial markings on lungs shown on chest ct a year later?

Dr. Michael Gabor answered

Specializes in Diagnostic Radiology

No,: they are two different things. Granulomas are small benign nodules. Mild dependent interstitial markings are generally an incidental finding related to gravity dependent changes in lung markings, and are usually of no clinical concern.
