Extrapulmonary manifestations of sarcoidosis often go undiagnozed. Sarcoidosis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of cases presenting with parotid gland swelling, renal failure, and hypercalcemia. It's imperative to confirm the diagnosis with a tissue biopsy, as the condition is easily treatable with steroids.
结节病的肺外表现常常被漏诊。对于表现为腮腺肿胀、肾衰竭和高钙血症的病例,应考虑结节病的鉴别诊断。通过组织活检来确诊是至关重要的,因为这种疾病用类固醇治疗很容易。
