A clinical case of generalized sarcoidosis
Abstract
Sarcoidosis has now ceased to be a rare pathology. The incidence can reach nine per ten thousand people. The absence of pathognomonic clinical manifestations of sarcoidosis makes it difficult to diagnose the disease and leads to a lung biopsy. Generalized sarcoidosis is less common than local forms, but can become a source of diagnostic errors. It is characterized by the prevalence of clinical symptoms and the possible presence of biomarkers of the disease. Generalized sarcoidosis can pose a significant diagnostic problem, since differential diagnosis has to exclude diseases of neoplastic, parasitic, infectious etiology. A feature of the clinical case given in the article is the presence of diffuse subcutaneous nodular formations. On the example of a clinical case, this publication demonstrated the features of clinical symptoms and identified biomarkers of generalized sarcoidosis.
