Sarcoidosis is a systemic disease of unknown origin, characterized by the formation of immune granulomas in various organs. The occurrence of superior vena cava syndrome (SVCS) remains very rare. We report the case of a 54-year-old patient treated for cervical lymph node tuberculosis in 2010. Three years later, she presented with SVCS of undetermined etiology. In 2023, mediastino-pulmonary sarcoidosis of type II was confirmed in her. The patient remained clinically stable under surveillance and did not receive any specific treatment for sarcoidosis. Superior vena cava syndrome is often associated with malignancy. Benign etiologies, particularly sarcoidosis, although rare, should be investigated.
结节病是一种病因不明的全身性疾病,其特征是在各个器官中形成免疫肉芽肿。上腔静脉综合征(SVCS)的发生仍然非常罕见。我们报告一例54岁患者,该患者于2010年接受颈部淋巴结结核治疗。三年后,她出现了病因不明的上腔静脉综合征。2023年,她被确诊为II型纵隔-肺结节病。该患者在监测下临床保持稳定,未接受任何针对结节病的特异性治疗。上腔静脉综合征常与恶性肿瘤相关。良性病因,尤其是结节病,虽然罕见,但也应进行调查。
