Abstract

Familial sarcoidosis is rare. It is unusual for lacrimal gland enlargement to be the initial manifestation of sarcoidosis. Two sisters are described with lacrimal gland enlargement as the initial manifestation of sarcoidosis. Gallium-67 scan was a useful adjunct to lacrimal biopsy in sarcoidosis. Sarcoid dacryoadenitis responded dramatically to a short term course of low dose prednisone.

摘要

家族性结节病很罕见。泪腺肿大作为结节病的初始表现并不常见。本文描述了两姐妹，她们以泪腺肿大作为结节病的初始表现。在结节病中，镓-67扫描是泪腺活检的有用辅助手段。结节性泪腺炎对短期低剂量泼尼松治疗反应显著。
