“…It is most common in the 20-40-year age group and among females. The most common finding on chest imaging studies is bilateral hilar lymph node enlargement and reticular, reticulonodular, and focal alveolar opacities within the lung parenchyma [182]. The clinical picture of sarcoidosis is variable, but most patients present with systemic symptoms including fatigue, weight loss, and fever.…”

Sarcoidosis involves the bronchi or lung in more than 90 percent of patients. Intrathoracic manifestations are protean, ranging from asymptomatic bilateral hilar lymphadenopathy to chronic, progressive, (ultimately fatal), respiratory insufficiency. The clinical course is highly variable, and optimal management and treatment are controversial. We review the salient radiographic, physiologic, and histopathologic features of pulmonary sarcoidosis and discuss rare intrathoracic complications (e.g., bronchostenosis, mycetomas, nodular sarcoidosis, necrotizing sarcoid angiitis and granulomatosis, pulmonary vascular and pleural involvement). We discuss the chest radiographic staging system and the role of ancillary diagnostic modalities including high resolution thin section computed tomographic scans (HRCT), bronchoalveolar lavage, radionuclide scan, and serum angiotensin enzyme converting enzyme. Indications for therapy and an overview of therapeutic options are outlined.
