Abstract EN
Sarcoidosis involves abnormal collections of inflammatory cells (granulomas) which may form as nodules in multiple organs.
90% of affected patients have respiratory tract abnormalities.
We present a 61-year-old male with sarcoidosis who was admitted for respiratory distress.
Fibrosing mediastinitis was seen in the chest computograph.
Management was conservative and included steroids, antibiotics, and oxygen therapy.
Sarcoidosis and fibrosing mediastinitis are rare.
Fibrosing mediastinitis is more commonly seen with histoplasmosis.
We explore the clinical similarities between histoplasmosis and sarcoidosis.
We also explore the potential cause and effect relationship and workup for each disease entity.
