Overview

Physical examination

Pulmonary Sarcoidosis

In half of the patients diagnosed with sarcoidosis, the disease is found incidentally by a CXR (bilateral hilar lymphadenopathy, reticular opacities) before the symptoms develop. Lung is the most common organ involved by sarcoidosis, but up to 30% percent of patients present with extra-pulmonary manifestations of sarcoidosis. The most common pattern of lung involvement in sarcoidosis is interstitial lung disease (other less common pulmonary manifestations include pneumothorax, pleural thickening, chylothorax, pulmonary hypertension)[1][2][3].

  • Crackles are not commonly auscultated on lung examination. Wheezing may be heard when there is endobronchial involvement.
  • In 8 to 15 year-old children, the disease presentation is similar to adults but younger children present with skin rash, arthritis, and red eye(uveitis). 90% of the children have an abnormal CXR[4][5][6].

Cutaneous Sarcoidosis

Common types of skin involvement in sarcoidosis are:
