Purpose Sarcoidosis is a rare multi-system inflammatory disease of unknown etiology, the pathology of which is characterized by the presence of non-caseating granulomas. Neurosarcoidosis can affect any part of the peripheral or central nervous system and occurs in approximately 5-15% of all sarcoidosis patients. In this report, we present a case of isolated neurosarcoidosis in a child manifeste...

Sarcoidosis is a systemic disorder of unknown etiology, characterized by non-caseating epitheloid granulomas. It has been suggested that sarcoidosis results from exposure to antigens like aerosols and infectious agents in genetically predisposed individuals [2]. Virtually any organ system may be involved. Although the involvement of the abdominal viscera is less frequent as compared to pulmonar...

Background Sarcoidosis is a multisystem disease characterized by infiltration of tissues by non-caseating granulomas and cardiac disease associated with arrhythmias, conduction disturbances, heart failure and death. Previous case reports have described late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) in the right ventricle (RV), however, this has been interpreted to be a rare feature of cardiac sarcoidosis. W...

Sarcoidosis is a multisystem granulomatous disease of unknown aetiology characterized by infiltration of non caseating granulomas in multiple organ systems. Sarcoidosis can have a plethora of cardiac manifestations which can mimic many other cardiovascular conditions ranging from asymptomatic electrocardiographic manifestations to life threatening arrhythmias resulting in sudden cardiac death. ...

The granulomas of sarcoidosis and non-caseating tuberculosis show similar cell-types: two forms of epithelioid cells, A and B, giant cells, lymphocytes and 'activated' mononuclear cells. The morphology of epithelioid cells suggests that they are primarily biosynthetic rather than phagocytic. The relationship of these various cells to each other is discussed and the following sequence of granulo...

Sarcoidosis (Besnier-Boeck-Schaumann disease) is a multisystem disease of unknown etiology with various cutaneous presentations. It is characterized by the presence of non-caseating ‘naked’ granulomas in the affected tissue. We report a case of polymorphic cutaneous sarcoid in a 39-year-old immunocompetent male. He was visited at our outpatient department with multiple asymptomatic red colored ...

Sarcoidosis is a multisystem disorder of unknown aetiology characterized by the accumulation of lymphocytes, mononuclear phagocytes, and non-caseating granulomas in involved tissues. Renal involvement leading to renal function deterioration in sarcoidosis is rare: it is observed in <10% of patients. In the relevant literature, there have been only a few cases of sarcoidosis recurrence in renal ...

CONTEXT The sarcoidosis is an idiopathic multisystem inflammatory disease characterized by the presence of non-caseating granulomas in the affected organs. The clinical picture includes non-specific systemic symptoms and organ-specific symptoms, but it is frequently asymptomatic. Although not fully understood, a clear association between sarcoidosis and malignancies has been reported. In neopla...

BACKGROUND Sarcoidosis presents with typical clinic-radiological findings and shows histologically non-caseating granulomas. Pulmonary manifestations of sarcoidosis can be diverse, involving the intrathoracic lymph nodes and pulmonary parenchyma. CASE PRESENTATION We here describe a case of a 35-year-old patient who presented with a history of exertion dyspnoea and coughing for the past 20 ye...

BACKGROUND Tuberculosis is a major health problem in the developing world. Diagnosis of extrapulmonary tuberculosis is delayed because the presentation is nonspecific. Extrapulmonary tuberculosis can present with various hematological manifestations, including pancytopenia. Pancytopenia could be due to hypersplenism, maturation arrest, hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis, or infiltration of the ...
