- Sarcoidosis
- Radiologic Findings
- Fig 1. Chest PA shows bilateral hilar bulding opacity
Fig 2. Axial CT images with mediastinal setting show bilateral multiple conclomerated mediastinal lymphadenopathy
Fig 3. Axial CT images with lung setting show multifocal patchy GGO in both lung
- Brief Review
- For diagnostic evaluation, the patient underwent EBUS biopsy of the mediastinal lymph nodes, which revealed non-caseating granulomas, suspicious for sarcoidosis. Based on these findings, a final diagnosis of sarcoidosis was made
Sarcoidosis is a multisystem granulomatous disorder characterized by the development of noncaseating granulomas in various organs. The clinical features are often nonspecific (e.g., cough, dyspnea, and chest pain) and can be seen in 9%
