Sarcoidosis, a systemic granulomatous disease of unknown etiology, may mimic other conditions at presentation often resulting in delayed diagnosis. These conditions include infections, neoplasms, autoimmune, cardiovascular, and drug-induced diseases. This review highlights the most common sarcoidosis mimics that often lead to pitfalls in diagnosis and delay in appropriate treatment. Prior to invasive testing and initiating immunosuppressants (commonly corticosteroids), it is important to exclude sarcoid mimickers.
结节病是一种病因不明的全身性肉芽肿性疾病,在发病时可能类似其他病症,常导致诊断延迟。这些病症包括感染、肿瘤、自身免疫性疾病、心血管疾病和药物诱发的疾病。本综述重点介绍了最常见的结节病模仿者,这些模仿者常常导致诊断失误和适当治疗的延迟。在进行侵入性检查和开始使用免疫抑制剂(通常是皮质类固醇)之前,排除结节病的模仿者很重要。
