Abstract

Necrotizing sarcoid granulomatosis is a form of granulomatous vasculitis, which is typically limited to the lungs. A 45-year-old male was referred due to multiple pulmonary nodules on chest X-ray with suspicion of metastatic lung carcinoma. He suffered from right sided chest pain, dyspnea, cough and weight loss within last two months. Computerized thorax tomography showed multiple parenchymal nodules without cavitation, consolidation on right lower lobe and minimal right sided pleural effusion. Transthoracic lung biopsy showed granulomatous inflammation. The final diagnosis was made by wedge resection via thoracotomy. Histopathological examination of resected lung segment was necrotizing sarcoid granulomatosis. Symptoms and parencyhmal nodules disappeared within two months by corticosteroid treatment. Treatment was ceased with tapered dose.

Özet

Nekrotizan sarkoid granülomu (NSG) akciğerlerle sınırlı granülomatöz bir vaskülittir. Akciğer grafisindeki multipl pulmoner nodul nedeniyle metastatik akciğer kanseri ön tanısıyla merkezimize refere edilen 45 yaşındaki erkek hasta son iki aydır olan sağ yan ağrısı, dispne, öksürük ve kilo kaybı tanımlıyordu. Toraks tomografisinde sağ alt lob alanında konsolidasyon, sağda minimal plevral mayi ve bilateral parankimal nodüller izleniyordu. Tomografi eşliğinde yapılan transtorasik ince iğne aspirasyon biyopsisinin histopatolojik incelemesi granülomatöz iltihap idi. Kesin tanıya açık akciğer biyopsisi ile ulaşıldı. Histopatolojik inceleme sonucu NSG olarak bulundu. Kortikosteroid tedavi ile semptomlar ve parankimal nodüller iki ay içinde kayboldu. Steroid dozu azaltılarak kesildi.
