Sarcoidosis is a complex inflammatory disease of uncertain origin, characterized by non-necrotizing epithelioid cell granulomas (NNEGs) affecting multiple organ systems. Although many different clinical and pathological phenotypes can be present, with different organs involved, the lung is the most common site described. In this case report, we (a) present and discuss the broad differential diagnosis of a patient presenting with a solitary lung mass with clinical and imaging features of lung cancer that ultimately was confirmed with a rare manifestation of stage II pulmonary sarcoidosis, and (b) analyze and compare similar cases from the literature.

“…Other laboratory findings such as ACE or the bronchoalveolar lavage can assist us in the diagnostic workup of sarcoidosis; however, they assist as surrogate markers [20]. Moreover; there are cases where we have enlarged mesothoracic lymph nodes and also lesions within the lung parenchyma or even pleura effusion; these findings can be all manifestations of sarcoidosis or other collagen disease [21][22][23]. There is also the case of skin and subcutaneous manifestation of sarcoidosis [24,25].…”

Endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) is a very useful tool for the diagnosis of lymphadenopathy of the mediastinum. Nowadays, EBUS can substitute video-assisted thoracic surgery when a 19G needle is used. Several studies have provided data for efficient diagnosis not only for lung cancer, but for also sarcoidosis, tuberculosis and lymphoma. We present five cases of EBUS-transbronchial needle biopsy 19G needle used for the diagnosis of mediastinum lymphadenopathy. We present not only the pathological diagnosis, but also the steps for the differential clinical and pathological differential diagnosis for sarcoidosis, tuberculosis, cancer metastasis, respiratory infection and lymphoma.

Sarcoidosis is a multisystem, granulomatous, inflammatory disease, of uncertain aetiology, ubiquitous, much more common in the female population. The age at onset is usually between 30 and 50 years, also having a second peak of incidence in the immediate post-menopausal period. Respiratory system or lymphatic system involvement is present in about 90% of sarcoidosis cases, usually being short-lived and self-limiting, but sometimes the disease can become chronic and less often it can progress to irreversible pulmonary fibrosis, complicated with pulmonary hypertension followed by chronic pulmonary heart disease with cardio-respiratory failure and death. We present the case of a patient presenting a rare, nodular form of sarcoidosis, in which multiple calcifications, both parenchymal and lymphatic, were identified by imaging, most likely with a long-term evolution of the disease beforehand, but with a completely preserved pulmonary function.
