“…In contrast, the association of carcinoma with sarcoid-like histopatho logic change has been well established by Symmers [36] and Sharma [35. How ever, case reports of autopsy proven systemic sarcoidosis and carcinoma are still relatively rare [6,19,31]. The association of carcinoma with collagen disease such as systemic lupus erythematosus and scleroderma has usually been conceived as a coincidental finding and rarely had the coexistence been patho logically related.…”

The histologic finding of variably acid-fast coccoid forms in all the available biopsy material (skin, lymph nodes, and lung) from a case of coexisting scleroderma-like cutaneous disease (hypodermitis sclerodermiformis) and systemic sarcoidosis is reported The morphologic size, shape, and staining characteristics of these microbes, along with the presence in the lung of ‘large bodies’, suggest that these microbes are cell wall deficient L forms of mycobacteria. Culture of the skin of the scleroderma-like lesion yielded Staphylococcus epidermidis, and the relationship of this isolate to the histologic findings of bacteria is disussed, as well as the possible pathogenic role played by L forms of mycobacteria in collagen disease and systemic sarcoidosis.

“…lt is probably because the occasional concurrence of a common cancer with sarcoidosis is not unexpected that few reports of the concurrence of lung cancer and sarcoidosis have been published, mainly to draw attention to diagnostic difficulties (jefferson et Goodbody and Taylor, 1957;Ellman and Hanson, 1958;]örgensen, 1963a;Sakula, 1963;Sarkar, 534 Sarcoidosis 1970; Schoenfield et al, 1978). The following two ca ses illustrate the diagnostic problems that may arise.…”

“…However, to our knowledge, this association has only been reported in a small number of cases [7][8][9]. In the study carried out by B r in c k e r [8], of among 1500 patients with lymphoma, 5 had sarcoidosis as well.…”

“…According to Brincker and Wilbkk, importance must be delegated to the chronic pulmonary changes caused by sarcoidosis in that they might cause additional carcinogenous stimuli [9]. Nevertheless, sarcoid-like changes in the lymph nodes of patients with epithelial neoplasms of the lungs [8], as well as in cases of lymphoma [7], should not be attributed to sarcoid disease.…”
