A 41-year-old male presented to the Emergency Department with hypercalcaemia and acute kidney injury. He initially presented with bilateral parotid swelling which was treated as mumps. This was later investigated for suspected Sjögren's syndrome, but further evaluation led to a diagnosis of sarcoidosis. Imaging confirmed extensive mediastinal and hilar lymphadenopathy, and a skin biopsy revealed non-caseating granulomas, confirming sarcoidosis. This case highlights the complexity of diagnosing hypercalcaemia and the importance of considering systemic granulomatous diseases like sarcoidosis in the differential diagnoses.
一名41岁男性因高钙血症和急性肾损伤就诊于急诊科。他最初表现为双侧腮腺肿大,被当作腮腺炎治疗。后来因怀疑干燥综合征进行了检查,但进一步评估后诊断为结节病。影像学检查证实有广泛的纵隔和肺门淋巴结肿大,皮肤活检显示非干酪样肉芽肿,确诊为结节病。该病例突出了诊断高钙血症的复杂性以及在鉴别诊断中考虑结节病等系统性肉芽肿性疾病的重要性。
