    Area of Science:

    • Pulmonology
    • Internal Medicine
    • Rare Diseases

    Background:

    • Sarcoidosis is a multisystem inflammatory disease characterized by non-caseating granulomas.
    • Pulmonary involvement is the most common manifestation, occurring in approximately 90% of patients.
    • Hemoptysis is an uncommon presenting symptom in sarcoidosis.

    Observation:

    • This study reports on four previously healthy patients.
    • All patients presented with hemoptysis as their primary symptom.
    • The patients were diagnosed with non-cavitated pulmonary sarcoidosis.

    Findings:

    • Hemoptysis is a rare presenting symptom of pulmonary sarcoidosis.
    • This is the first case series to describe multiple patients with this presentation.
    • Previously, only five such cases had been documented in the literature.

    Implications:

    • Clinicians should consider pulmonary sarcoidosis in the differential diagnosis of patients presenting with hemoptysis, even in the absence of typical symptoms.
    • This finding may prompt further research into the specific mechanisms underlying hemoptysis in sarcoidosis.
    • Early recognition and diagnosis of sarcoidosis can lead to timely management and improved patient outcomes.
