A young man with widespread nodules was diagnosed with sarcoidosis based on lung and liver findings. Corticosteroid therapy led to significant symptom improvement, highlighting effective treatment for this systemic inflammatory disease.

Area of Science:

  • Pulmonology
  • Rheumatology
  • Hepatology

Background:

  • Sarcoidosis is a multisystem inflammatory disease of unknown etiology.
  • Diagnosis often requires a combination of clinical, radiological, and laboratory findings.
  • Cutaneous manifestations can be diverse but may lack specific diagnostic features initially.

Observation:

  • A young West Indian male presented with constitutional symptoms and extensive subcutaneous nodules.
  • Initial skin biopsy was inconclusive for a definitive diagnosis.
  • Progressive bilateral hilar lymphadenopathy and interstitial pulmonary infiltrates were observed on imaging.

Findings:

  • The diagnosis of sarcoidosis was confirmed by integrated clinical, radiological, and pathological data.
  • Elevated serum angiotensin-converting-enzyme (ACE) levels supported the diagnosis.

  • Granulomatous hepatitis was identified, indicating systemic involvement.

    • Implications:

    • Early diagnosis and treatment of sarcoidosis are crucial for managing systemic inflammation.
    • Corticosteroids demonstrated significant efficacy in resolving symptoms and disease progression.
    • This case underscores the importance of a comprehensive diagnostic approach for sarcoidosis, especially with atypical presentations.
