Abstract

Sarcoidosis is a multisystemic, granulomatous diseasewith particular involvement in the lungs and the intrathoracic lymph nodes. Pleural fluid has been reported to occur in 0% to 5% of the cases in the literature. Diagnosis depends on the presence of noncaseating granulomas in the biopsy sample and theexclusion of other possibilities. A 77-year-old womanwith complaints of shortness of breath and a drycough was found to have non-necrotizing granulomatous inflammation in pleural biopsy and computed tomography guided transthoracic Tru-Cutbiopsy specimens. This was a rare case in whichpartial recovery was achieved through treatment withmethylprednisolone for a year in reduced doses.

Özet

Sarkoidoz, nedeni bilinmeyen, en sık akciğerleri ve intratorasik lenf nodlarını tutan, multisistemik, nonkazeifiye granülomatöz bir hastalıktır. Literatürde plevra sıvısı görülme sıklığı %0-5 arasında bildirilmektedir. Tanı plevra biyopsisinde kazeifikasyon nekrozu içermeyen granülom gösterilmesi ve granülom yapan diğer nedenlerin dışlanması ile konulur. Eforla nefes darlığı ve kuru öksürük şikayetleri olan 77 yaşındaki kadın hastamızın plevral biyopsi ve BT eşliğinde transtorasik tru-cut biyopsi örneklerinde “nekroz içermeyen granülomatöz enflamasyon” saptadık. Giderek azaltılan dozlarda bir yıllık metilprednisolon tedavisiyle tama yakın iyileşme sağladığımız olguyu nadir görülmesi nedeniyle sunuyoruz.
