“…30 In fact, the HRS criteria prefer extracardiac tissue biopsy over EMB because of the safety and higher yield of the former. 30 The mediastinal nodes constitute one of the most common extracardiac sites of sarcoidosis 79 and are usually the preferred targets for biopsy through mediastinoscopy or bronchoscopy with endobronchial ultrasound guidance. 75 …”

“…Examples are provided of how chest CT can guide diagnostic interventions [10] and may allow the diagnosis of most complications that carry significant morbidity in pulmonary sarcoidosis. 18 F fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (PET) scanning identifies areas with active metabolic (inflammatory) activity [11], which can be targeted by biopsies [12], and suggests the presence of disease in organs that are difficult to access and with potential morbidity, especially the brain and the heart. PET scanning has progressively replaced gallium-67 scanning in most centres.…”

“…Pode ser útil na identificação de potenciais locais acessíveis para a realização de biópsia 40 e na sugestão da presença de doença em ór-gãos relativamente inacessíveis (como cérebro e coração). 36 Avaliação funcional respiratória -permite avaliar a gravidade do envolvimento pulmonar e monitorizar a evolução da doença, com avaliações sequenciais.…”
