AB - Sarcoidosis, a multisystem granulomatous disorder of unknown etiology, may resolve spontaneously or progress to fibrosis (1). Lung parenchymal or intrathoracic lymph node involvement is found in 90% of patients, and lung disease is the most common cause of morbidity and mortality (2). Traditionally, the diagnosis of sarcoidosis has been based upon compatible clinical and radiological findings, the presence of noncaseating granulomas in more than one organ, and, when appropriate, negative bacterial or fungal cultures. However, histological evidence of sarcoidosis is occasionally elusive. Moreover, noncaseating lung granulomas are found in a variety of conditions (3) (Table 1); therefore, radiological findings may play a crucial diagnostic role.
