Sarcoidosis of the breast.

چکیده
Sarcoid granulomata were found incidentally in the mammary lobules adjacent to an excised fibroadenoma in a case of sarcoidosis of the breast. The diagnosis of sarcoidosis was established by the radiological finding of bilateral hilar lymphadenopathy, raised concentrations of serum angiotensin converting enzyme and lysozyme, and, finally, by a positive Kveim test.

sarcoidosis is rare (1, 2) and it usually shows similar radiological findings as for a breast carcinoma. The diagnosis is very difficult and tissue confirmation is necessary. Although a core needle biopsy may be helpful for diagnosis, an excisional biopsy may be needed occasionally (3, 4).

Background: In 10-30% of the cases with sarcoidosis, skin lesions appear solely without any systemic signs or symptoms. BTNL2 gene, which is a member of the immunoglobulin gene super family and is associated with CD86 and CD80 co-stimulatory receptors, is identified to play an important role in the establishment of sarcoidosis. We aimed to evaluate the role of this gene in patients with skin sa...
