Rare cases of co-existing sarcoidosis and carcinoid tumour have been previously reported in the literature. Both diseases may have vague and overlapping clinical presentations that can lead to delayed or missed diagnosis. To avoid this diagnostic pitfall, we discuss and compare the clinical presentations of all reported cases in the literature including our case. We also provide hypothesis to explain the relationship between the two diseases.
此前文献中曾报道过结节病与类癌肿瘤共存的罕见病例。这两种疾病可能具有模糊且重叠的临床表现，从而导致诊断延迟或漏诊。为避免这一诊断陷阱，我们对文献中包括我们的病例在内的所有已报道病例的临床表现进行了讨论和比较。我们还提出了假设来解释这两种疾病之间的关系。
