Abstract

Sarcoidosis is a multisystemic disease characterized by non-caseating granulomas of unknown etiology. While pulmonary manifestations are present in 90% of cases, extrapulmonary sarcoidosis cases are rare and diagnosis is often challenging due to atypical clinical course. Here, we aim to present a case of extrapulmonary sarcoidosis diagnosed after excluding Macrophage Activation Syndrome and lymphoma during clinical follow-up.

Özet

Sarkoidoz, nonkazeifiye granülomlarla karakterize, etiyolojisi bilinmeyen multisistemik bir hastalıktır. Olguların %90'ında akciğer bulguları mevcut olmakla birlikte, ekstrapulmoner sarkoidoz olguları oldukça nadirdir ve atipik klinik seyir nedeniyle tanı koymak genellikle zordur. Burada klinik takibinde Makrofaj aktivasyonu sendromu ve lenfoma ekarte edildikten sonra tanısı konulan bir ekstrapulmoner sarkoidoz olgusunu sunmayı amaçladık.
