Sarcoidosis is non-necrotizing granulomatous disease of unknown etiology. It classically associated with (pulmonary) hilar lymphadenopathy. It may be found in almost any organ, e.g. heart, appendix.

General

  • Diagnosis of exclusion - infection must be excluded.
  • Rare.

Gross

  • Bilateral lymphadenopathy ~90% of cases.

Note:

  • Radiologic differential diagnosis includes carcinomatosis.[1]

Microscopic

Features:

  • Granulomata, well-formed, non-necrotizing.
    • Negative for microorganisms with special stains (PAS-D, GMS, AFB).
  • Usu. minimal (lymphoid) inflammation; sarcoid granulomas are known as "naked granulomas".[2]
  • In lung: interstitial location.

Stains

  • ZN -ve.
  • PASD -ve.
  • GMS -ve.

Note:

  • Done to r/o infection.

Sign out

  • Should be something like sarcoid-like granulomas and clinical correlation required.
