Lung cancer is responsible for a significant number of cancer-related deaths worldwide. While various factors can lead to lung cancer, such as tobacco smoking, this article focuses on the relationship between sarcoidosis, a multisystem granulomatous disorder, and lung neoplasm. To investigate this association, the authors conducted a literature search using relevant keywords. The analysis of these reports concluded that while Sarcoidosis and lung cancer together is rare, it is possible. The presenting symptoms, age, gender, and diagnostic procedures of each case should be evaluated, and appropriate diagnostic procedures should be carried out to determine the appropriate treatment for each patient. Clinicians need to be aware of the possibility of these two diseases co-occurring, as they can impact the management of the patient's condition, whether it is curative or palliative. It is essential to rule out metastatic cancer in individuals with sarcoidosis-like clinical and radiographic features.
肺癌是全球大量癌症相关死亡的原因。虽然多种因素可导致肺癌,如吸烟,但本文重点关注结节病(一种多系统肉芽肿性疾病)与肺部肿瘤之间的关系。为了研究这种关联,作者使用相关关键词进行了文献检索。对这些报告的分析得出结论,虽然结节病和肺癌同时存在的情况很少见,但有可能发生。应评估每个病例的症状表现、年龄、性别和诊断程序,并应进行适当的诊断程序以确定针对每个患者的合适治疗方法。临床医生需要意识到这两种疾病同时发生的可能性,因为它们会影响患者病情的管理,无论是治愈性还是姑息性的。对于具有结节病样临床和影像学特征的个体,排除转移性癌症至关重要。
