Pleural sarcoidosis: a rare presentation

E Loughney et al. Thorax. 1997 Feb.

Abstract

Sarcoidosis is a chronic disorder of unknown aetiology which causes tissue injury and granuloma formation in many organs. Although over 80% of cases have intrathoracic disease at presentation, pleural sarcoidosis remains an unusual manifestation. A case of sarcoidosis presenting with a discrete pleural mass is reported.
