Sarcoidosis often manifests with pulmonary involvement, making isolated extrapulmonary presentations rare and diagnostically challenging. We present the case of a 43-year-old woman who presented with prolonged fever, deep lymphadenopathy, massive splenomegaly, hepatomegaly, and severe hypercalcemia, mimicking malignancy. The diagnosis of sarcoidosis was established after the failure of anti-tubercular therapy, exclusion of differential diagnosis, and the subsequent development of cutaneous sarcoids. This case highlights the importance of recognizing isolated extrapulmonary pseudo-tumoral presentations of sarcoidosis, which can lead to delayed diagnosis.
结节病常表现为肺部受累,使得孤立的肺外表现罕见且诊断具有挑战性。我们报告一例43岁女性病例,该患者表现为长期发热、深部淋巴结肿大、巨脾、肝肿大及严重高钙血症,酷似恶性肿瘤。在抗结核治疗失败、排除鉴别诊断并随后出现皮肤结节后,确诊为结节病。该病例凸显了认识结节病孤立性肺外假瘤样表现的重要性,此类表现可能导致诊断延迟。
