Galaxy Sign
The galaxy sign represents coalescing granulomatous inflammation in sarcoidosis. Large nodules with surrounding micronodules are characteristic – even pathognomonic – of sarcoidosis.
Two patients with sarcoidosis demonstrating the galaxy sign:

Black Hole Sign
Patients with angioinvasive fungal pneumonia caused by Mucormycosis develop necrotizing infarction of the lung parenchyma. This portion of the parenchyma will be completely non-enhancing at MRI and appear as a ‘black hole.’
