The paper reports 2 cases of thyroid sarcoidosis associated with diffuse toxic goiter. This association is of a special interest because of suggested common mechanisms underlying etiopathogenesis of these two diseases attributed to immune disorders. Thyroid surgery and subsequent morphological examination in sarcoidosis patients require a purposeful search for epithelioid-cell granules in the thyroid tissue for diagnosis of thyroid sarcoidosis.
