Cardiac sarcoidosis and cystic fibrosis (CF) are both rare conditions and their co-existence has not previously been noted in adults. For the first time we report a case of isolated cardiac sarcoidosis in a woman with CF, and discuss the possible combined aetiological factors. As the life expectancy of people with CF continues to increase, clinicians should be aware of the emergence of concomitant inflammatory conditions typically diagnosed in adulthood, and the diagnostic challenges this may present.
心脏结节病和囊性纤维化（CF）均为罕见病症，此前在成人中尚未发现二者并存的情况。我们首次报告了一例患有CF的女性孤立性心脏结节病病例，并讨论了可能的合并病因。随着CF患者的预期寿命不断延长，临床医生应意识到通常在成年期诊断出的伴随炎症性疾病的出现，以及这可能带来的诊断挑战。
