Pleuroparenchymal sarcoidosis - A recognised but rare manifestation of disease

Publication date: 2018 Source:Respiratory Medicine Case Reports, Volume 23 Author(s): S. Walker, H. Adamali, N. Bhatt, N. Maskell, S.L. Barratt Pleural involvement is rare in sarcoidosis. The presence of a large symptomatic effusion in a patient with sarcoidosis should therefore prompt further investigation for an alternate aetiology. Here we present a case of confirmed pleuro-parenchymal sarcoidosis. We discuss the important differential diagnoses and review the current literature.
