    This case highlights sarcoidosis presenting with caseating granulomas, mimicking tuberculosis. The patient developed hypopituitarism due to combined hypothalamic and pituitary sarcoid infiltration.

    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Pulmonology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Sarcoidosis is a multisystem inflammatory disease.
    • Hypothalamic-pituitary involvement in sarcoidosis is uncommon.
    • Caseating granulomas are typically associated with tuberculosis.

    Observation:

    • A 42-year-old woman with sarcoidosis presented with symptoms suggestive of tuberculosis.
    • Initial lymph node biopsy revealed caseating granulomas.
    • The patient failed to respond to antituberculosis therapy and developed hypopituitarism.

    Findings:

    • Dynamic tests confirmed hypothalamic and pituitary lesions.
    • The Kveim reaction supported a diagnosis of sarcoidosis.
    • This case demonstrates sarcoidosis with caseating granulomas and combined hypothalamic-pituitary dysfunction.

    Implications:

    • Sarcoidosis can present with atypical pathological features like caseating granulomas.
    • Combined hypothalamic and pituitary sarcoidosis can lead to hypopituitarism.
    • Early recognition and appropriate diagnosis are crucial for managing sarcoidosis-induced endocrine dysfunction.
