    Area of Science:

    • Pulmonology
    • Thoracic Surgery
    • Surgical Pathology

    Background:

    • Sarcoidosis is a multisystem inflammatory disease that can affect the lungs, leading to significant morbidity and mortality.
    • Surgical involvement is crucial for diagnosing and managing complex sarcoidosis cases, particularly in advanced stages.
    • Stage III sarcoidosis presents a substantial challenge, with potential for debilitating pulmonary insufficiency.

    Observation:

    • Mediastinoscopy demonstrated 100% diagnostic accuracy in 74 procedures performed on 62 patients.
    • Biopsies from lung, liver, and skin were effective diagnostic tools.
    • Seven patients required surgical treatment for sarcoidosis, involving general and thoracic procedures.

    Findings:

    • Two patients with Stage III sarcoidosis died from pulmonary insufficiency.
