Sarcoid-like reactions (SLR) in patients with malignancies are a relatively common finding. Defined by the presence of non-caseating granulomas, SLR does not meet the clinical criteria for classic sarcoidosis. In cancer patients, SLR often presents a challenging differential diagnosis, as it must be distinguished from disease progression due to malignancy. We present two cases of SLRs associated with breast cancer, underscoring the need for heightened vigilance among physicians. SLR should always be considered a potential diagnosis in these patients, with histological confirmation being essential for accurate identification.
恶性肿瘤患者中的结节病样反应（SLR）是一种相对常见的表现。SLR由非干酪样肉芽肿的存在所定义，不符合经典结节病的临床标准。在癌症患者中，SLR常常带来具有挑战性的鉴别诊断，因为它必须与恶性肿瘤导致的疾病进展相区分。我们呈现两例与乳腺癌相关的SLR病例，强调医生需要提高警惕。在这些患者中，SLR应始终被视为一种潜在的诊断，组织学确认对于准确识别至关重要。
