Pulmonary granulomatous reaction: talc pneumoconiosis or chronic sarcoidosis?
A chronic pulmonary granulomatous reaction was associated with an almost identical clinical picture in two patients exposed to talc. In both patients lung biopsy showed the deposition of talc particles and a heavy granulomatous reaction. At the time of diagnosis the Kveim test result was negative in both patients, urinary calcium excretion was normal, and there were no extrapulmonary manifestat...

However, sarcoidosis has not been reported previously in CGD. In this report, we describe two patients who have CGD and a disorder consistent with sarcoidosis on the basis of unequivocal clinical-radiog...

متن کاملSarcoidosis or sarcoid reaction?
McNeill et al1 reported a patient whose sarcoidosis and lung cancer coexisted, raising the question of causality and, secondarily, of cause vs effect. The Ptolemaic (sarcocentric) viewpoint, advanced by Brincker and Wilbek,2 posits that the disease sarcoidosis can induce the development of solid neoplasms by an unspecified mechanism. The Copernican (oncocentric) viewpoint posits that sarcoidosi...
متن کاملApoptosis in the course of granulomatous inflammation in pulmonary sarcoidosis.
Sarcoidosis is a chronic inflammatory disease of unknown aetiology characterized by the formation of non-necrotizing granulomas. The course of disease is usually self-limiting with the spontaneous resolution of granuloma. In the immune system, Fas antigen (Fas) and Fas ligand (FasL) are involved in the down regulation of immune reactions by inducing apoptosis. Therefore, it was hypothesized tha...
