Sarcoidosis is a multisystem inflammatory disease with varied symptoms, often affecting the lungs. Diagnosis relies on clinical, radiographic, and histologic findings of noncaseating granulomas.

Area of Science:

  • Pulmonary Medicine
  • Immunology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Sarcoidosis is a systemic disease with unknown cause and diverse clinical presentations.
  • Symptoms range from asymptomatic cases to cough, dyspnea, skin lesions, and eye conditions.
  • Radiographic findings frequently include bilateral hilar adenopathy and interstitial lung disease.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To summarize the key diagnostic and clinical features of sarcoidosis.
  • To highlight the role of various imaging modalities in sarcoidosis evaluation.
  • To outline the potential complications and prognosis of the disease.

Main Methods:

  • Review of clinical presentations, diagnostic criteria, and imaging findings in sarcoidosis.
  • Emphasis on the diagnostic utility of chest radiography, computed tomography, and gallium-67 scintigraphy.

  • Inclusion of histopathologic confirmation through noncaseating granulomas.

    • Main Results:

    • Sarcoidosis presents variably, with ~50% of patients asymptomatic at diagnosis.
    • Chest radiography is crucial for diagnosis, staging, and follow-up, showing bilateral hilar adenopathy.
    • Computed tomography and gallium-67 scintigraphy enhance detection of disease extent and activity.

    Conclusions:

    • The diagnosis of sarcoidosis requires correlation of clinical, radiographic, and histologic findings.
    • Early detection and monitoring, particularly of thoracic involvement, are vital for managing sarcoidosis.
    • Potential complications include fibrosis, mycetoma, and cor pulmonale, impacting long-term prognosis.
