A 63-year old female with right breast cancer underwent lumpectomy, with axillary lymph nodes negative for metastatic carcinoma but demonstrating noncaseating granulomatous lymphadenitis. These histopathologic findings, in conjunction with thoracic lymphadenopathy and diffuse splenic nodules on computed tomography, were consistent with sarcoidosis. This unusually novel case of concomitant diagnosis of breast cancer and sarcoidosis case reminds both the radiologist and pathologist to keep in mind the possibility of alternate or new diagnoses when reading their respective studies.
一位 63 岁的女性患有右侧乳腺癌，接受了乳房肿瘤切除术，腋窝淋巴结未检出转移性癌，但显示出非干酪样肉芽肿性淋巴结炎。这些组织病理学发现，结合胸部淋巴结病和计算机断层扫描显示的弥漫性脾脏结节，与结节病一致。这个不寻常的同时诊断乳腺癌和结节病的新病例提醒放射科医生和病理科医生在阅读各自的研究结果时，要牢记可能存在其他或新的诊断。
