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

This article covers the topic in general and focuses on the lung aspects. Cardiac sarcoidosis is dealt with separately.

General

  • Diagnosis of exclusion - infection, neoplasm, and drugs must be excluded.
  • Uncommon.
  • Afflicits skin ~25% of the time.[1]

Serology:

  • Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) - used for diagnosis and to monitor activity.[2][3]
    • Elevated in approximately 65% of patients in one series.[4]

Gross

  • Lungs - classic location.[5]
  • Bilateral hilar lymphadenopathy.

DDx lungs - radiologic:

  • Carcinomatosis - interstitial pattern.[6]
  • Lymphoma - bilateral lymphadenopathy +/- mediastinal lymphadenopathy.[7]

  • Markedly enlarged bilaterally hilar lymph nodes in stage 1 sarcoidosis (WC/Yale Rosen)

  • Fibrosis (WC/Yale Rosen)

Microscopic

Features:

  • Granulomata, well-formed, non-necrotizing. ‡
    • Negative for microorganisms with special stains.
  • Usu. minimal (lymphoid) inflammation; sarcoid granulomas are known as "naked granulomas".[8][1]
  • In lung:
    • Interstitial location +/- centrilobular.

Notes:

  • ‡ Reported with necrosis - uncommon.[1]

C. RIGHT LOWER LOBE LUNG, WEDGE RESECTION:

COMMENT:
The sections show multiple sarcoid-like granulomas with both centrilobular and 
septal involvement. There is a slight upper lobe predominance of the disease.

The main histomorphologic differential diagnoses are: sarcoidosis, 
infectious granulomatous pneumonia.

Sarcoidosis is favoured based on the morphology of the granulomas and the 
lack of microorganisms with special stains (ZN, PASF, GMS).

A serum ACE level should be considered, if not already done.

Clinical and radiologic correlation is required.
