“…The fact is, the exclusion of other diagnoses is crucial, especially if radiographic signs and symptoms are minimal, given that many other diseases and processes can cause granulomatous inflammation. These are the statements by Gomar et al (2021):…”

“…According to Gomar et al, (2021) with bilateral and asymmetric manifestation, granulomas arise from the union of inflammatory cells combined with changes in the physiological immune conformation. From the progression of the disease, the development of fibrosis around the lesion sounds relevant.…”

“…Also known as Boesnier-Boeck-Schaumann disease, it is known that most patients, at the time of diagnosis, are aged between 20 and 60 years. It is also important to highlight its prevalence over the population residing in tropical regions and under temperate climates (GOMAR et al, 2021).…”

Introduction: Sarcoidosis is defined as a multisystem granulomatous disease of unknown cause. It affects the lung in 90% of cases, but it can affect any part of the body. It can be self-limiting or chronic, with progression to terminal fibrosis. Its diagnosis is based on the compatible clinical-radiological correlation, in addition to the histopathological finding of non-caseating granuloma. Objective: To report a case of sarcoidosis from initial suspicion to diagnostic confirmation and treatment. Description of case: This is a male patient with a dry, dragging cough and unintentional weight loss. After investigation, diagnosis was made. Conclusion: Because it is a disease with diverse symptoms, including asymptomatic individuals or with unspecific symptoms, diagnosis is a challenge in clinical practice. The prognosis is usually favorable, but up to 25% of patients develop severe disability. Therefore, it becomes evident the importance of an early diagnosis for adequate management and continuous and multidisciplinary follow-up to avoid a chronic course. The prognosis is usually favorable, but up to 25% of patients develop severe disability. Therefore, it becomes evident the importance of an early diagnosis for adequate management and continuous and multidisciplinary followup to avoid a chronic and progressive course of the disease.
