“…The first report of thyroid sarcoidosis originates from an autopsy report in 1938 (30), with several case reports available after that. In a 2017 study by Okuma et al (8), only 65 cases of systemic sarcoidosis with thyroid involvement were reported.…”

Sarcoidosis is a multi-systemic disease of unknown etiology that is characterized by the formation of non-necrotizing and non-caseating granulomas in affected organs. Sarcoidosis granulomas can form in any organ, but the lungs and intrathoracic lymph nodes are the most commonly affected. Thyroid involvement in sarcoidosis is very rare, with prevalence estimates of 1–4.5% in case series of autopsied patients with systemic sarcoidosis. It is extremely rare for sarcoidosis to occur solely in the thyroid gland, but it is usually associated with the involvement of other organs, primarily the lungs and lymph nodes. Typical manifestations are diffuse goiter and solitary or multiple thyroid nodules. Thyroid function remains intact in the majority of cases, but sometimes it can result in hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism. The diagnosis can be made after fine needle aspiration cytology, but usually it is diagnosed as an incidental finding while analyzing thyroidectomy tissue or during autopsy. Oral steroids are the cornerstone of thyroid sarcoidosis management, along with specific endocrinological treatment on some occasions. Given that we found only 71 reports of thyroid sarcoidosis available in the literature, we created and analyzed a cohort of 24 patients with thyroid sarcoidosis who were described in the literature in the 21st century and reported two additional cases of thyroid sarcoidosis.

“…Sarcoidosis has been shown to be associated with other autoimmune disorders, especially autoimmune thyroid disease, although being rare. The first case of thyroid involvement was reported in 1938 and with response of thyrotoxicosis upon initiation of steroids [ 25 ]. Our patient's last scan at the tenth month of illness showed nodules in her left thyroid.…”

“…Involvement of the heart is to be found in about 20% of all cases of disseminated sarcoidosis (Freiman, 1948;Longcope and Freiman, 1952). In many of these cases the cardiac lesion has remained clinically silent, the patient dying from some other manifestation of the disease or from some unrelated condition (Skavlem and Ritterhoff, 1946;Hauser, 1946;Spencer and Warren, 1938;Longcope, 1941). In a few instances the circulatory disturbance produced by cardiac involvement has proved to be of a transitory nature and recovery has followed (Longcope and Fisher, 1941 ;Moyer and Ackerman, 1950;Gold and Cantor, 1959).…”
