Sarcoidosis is a multisystemic disease of unknown cause. The diagnosis of sarcoidosis requires a compatible clinical picture accompanied by radiological and histopathological demonstration of the entity.1 Our patient did not present asthenia, usual symptoms, or extrapulmonary organ involvement.2 Laboratory tests did not identify hypercalcemia or angiotensin-converting enzyme elevation. On the other hand, the patient did not present typical radiological findings such as multiple micronodules with lymphatic distribution or lymphadenopathy; lung mass is a rare manifestation of the disease.
