Pulmonary sarcoidosis: roentgenographic, functional, and pathologic correlations.

C T Huang, A E Heurich, Y Rosen

    Respiration; International Review of Thoracic Diseases
    |January 1, 1979

    Summary

    Pulmonary function tests (PFTs) and chest imaging can show discrepancies with lung biopsy in sarcoidosis. Serial PFTs are valuable for assessing disease progression and lung pathology.

    Area of Science:

    • Pulmonary Medicine
    • Pathology
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Sarcoidosis diagnosis relies on clinical, imaging, and biopsy findings, which can be discordant.
    • Understanding these discrepancies is crucial for accurate disease assessment.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the relationship between functional, roentgenographic, and open lung biopsy findings in sarcoidosis.
    • To evaluate the utility of pulmonary function tests (PFTs) in assessing sarcoidosis severity.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 81 sarcoidosis patients.
    • Comparison of pulmonary function tests (PFTs), chest roentgenograms, and open lung biopsy results.
    • Correlation analysis between different diagnostic modalities and disease extent.

    Main Results:

    • Discrepancies noted between PFTs, imaging, and biopsy findings.
    • Normal PFTs with Type 1 roentgenography indicated minimal lung lesions.
    • Advanced PFT and imaging abnormalities correlated with extensive lung disease.
    • Pulmonary diffusing capacity best correlated with pathology and imaging types, differentiating granuloma extent.

    Conclusions:

    • Serial PFTs are practical and valuable for monitoring sarcoidosis progression.
    • Pulmonary diffusing capacity is a key PFT for assessing sarcoidosis severity and pathology.
    • Discordance between diagnostic methods highlights the complexity of sarcoidosis assessment.
