In this report, we present a rare case of sarcoidosis presenting as fever of unknown origin with unilateral hilar lymphadenopathy, in contrast with the typical presentation of sarcoidosis. Sarcoidosis presenting with asymmetric or isolated unilateral lymphadenopathy is highly unusual. Sarcoidosis is also an uncommon cause of fever of unknown origin. This atypical presentation led to diagnostic delays in our case. This case report emphasizes the importance of considering sarcoidosis early in the differential diagnosis of fever of unknown origin with unilateral hilar lymphadenopathy.
在本报告中,我们呈现了一例罕见的结节病病例,该病例表现为不明原因发热伴单侧肺门淋巴结肿大,这与结节病的典型表现不同。以不对称或孤立性单侧淋巴结肿大为表现的结节病极为罕见。结节病也是不明原因发热的罕见病因。这种非典型表现导致了我们病例中的诊断延迟。本病例报告强调了在不明原因发热伴单侧肺门淋巴结肿大的鉴别诊断早期考虑结节病的重要性。
