Overview
The diagnosis of sarcoidosis requires a tissue biopsy, with the exception of rare circumstances which the clinical findings are highly specific sarcoidosis.
Tissue biopsy
The diagnosis of sarcoidosis requires a tissue biopsy, with the exception of rare circumstances which the clinical findings are highly specific for sarcoidosis. It is ideal for biopsy to be minimally invasive and associated with the least morbidity. Thus, peripheral biopsy sites are preferred compared to visceral organs[1].When there is no evidence that a superficial peripheral site is involved by sarcoidosis, a biopsy is usually performed in organs which is very often the lung, because the lungs are involved in 90% of sarcoidosis patients[2].
Bronchoscopy
different samples can be taken with a bronchoscope:
Transbronchial biopsy(TBB)
Endobronchial biopsy
- positive in 60% of patients with pulmonary sarcoidosis[6][7].
Transbronchial needle aspiration(TBNA)
- positive in 80% of patients with pulmonary sarcoidosis[8]
Bronchoalveolar lavage(BAL)
- is a complementary test for the diagnosis of pulmonary sarcoidosis[9]. BAL lymphocytosis(>15% lymphocytes) has a 90% sensivity[10]. BAL CD4/CD8 ratio is increased more than 3.5 in 50% of patients with pulmonary sarcoidosis[11][12][13].
