Hilar and mediastinal adenopathy in sarcoidosis as detected by computed tomography

Diagnostic role of fine needle aspiration cytology in mediastinal lymphadenopathy, with emphasis on subcarinal lymph nodes

“…In concordance, Sider and Horton (1990) and Wildi et al (2004) had noticed that subcarinal LNs were involved in most of their studied patients, where they were enlarged in 64 and 84% of patients with mediastinal lymphadenopathy due to sarcoidosis, respectively. However, in contrast to our study, Bein et al (1978) have found that only 20% of their studied patients complaining of sarcoidosis presented with subcarinal LN enlargement.…”

Clinical Characteristics and Computed Tomography Findings in Arab Patients Diagnosed with Pulmonary Sarcoidosis

“…Several studies have investigated the role of CT, including high resolution CT (HRCT), in sarcoidosis patients 25–30. However, routine CT scanning is not advocated in management of sarcoidosis except in patients in whom normal or atypical chest radiography is evident, or specific complications are suspected, such as in patients with pulmonary fibrosis, bronchiectasis, aspergilloma, or malignancy 131.…”
