Lacrimal gland enlargement in familial sarcoidosis
Ophthalmology
|August 1, 1983
Abstract:
Familial sarcoidosis is rare. It is unusual for lacrimal gland enlargement to be the initial manifestation of sarcoidosis. Two sisters are described with lacrimal gland enlargement as the initial manifestation of sarcoidosis. Gallium-67 scan was a useful adjunct to lacrimal biopsy in sarcoidosis. Sarcoid dacryoadenitis responded dramatically to a short term course of low dose prednisone.
