Sarcoid in cancer patients: clinical characteristics and associated disease status.
CONCLUSION: While sarcoid often presents at initial diagnosis or staging of cancer, in a significant number of patients, it appears in association with recurrence or second malignancy.

Subacute sarcoid myositis with ocular muscle involvement; a case report and review of the literature.
We describe a case of acute to subacute sarcoid myositis of the skeletal and extraocular muscles. Typical ophthalmic involvement (manifested by infiltration of the ocular adnexa, intraocular inflammation, or infiltration of the retrobulbar visual pathways) and extraocular sarcoid myositis (as with the present case) is infrequently reported. It is important to keep in mind the rare yet perhaps underestimated entity of sarcoid myositis, and to utilize muscle biopsy and imaging tests for appropriate diagnosis and management of patients with sarcoidosis.

Anxiety, its relation to symptoms severity and anxiety sensitivity in sarcoidosis.
Conclusions: These data confirmed earlier reports that anxiety and depression are common in patients with sarcoidosis and expanded on the previous results by showing that patients exhibited increased anxiety sensitivity and a fear of physical sensations. These results, together with the findings that anxiety was associated with sarcoidosis symptom severity, suggest that targeting anxiety and the physical health concerns may be important in the diagnosis and management of this disease.

Evaluation of Mediastinal Lymph Nodes in Sarcoidosis, Sarcoid Reaction, and Malignant Lymph Nodes Using CT and FDG-PET/CT
Abstract: The aim of this study was to analyze the clinical, computed tomography (CT), and positron emission tomography (PET) findings of sarcoidosis, sarcoid reaction, and malignant lymph nodes (LNs) to the results of transbronchial LN aspiration and biopsy (TBNA).
The TBNA results of mediastinal and hilar LNs of 152 patients in our hospital from July 2008 to March 2013 were retrospectively reviewed. Two independent radiologists measured the size and attenuation of LNs on CT and assessed the probability of the 3 categories: sarcoidosis (n = 36), sarcoid reaction (n = 25), or malignant LNs (n = 91). The total v...

Pulmonary metastases from low grade sarcoma in a patient with pulmonary sarcoidosis. Sarcoidosis or sarcoid-like reaction?
Authors: Majori M, Anghinolfi M, Gnetti L, Casalini AG
Abstract
An asymptomatic man with previous histopatological diagnosis of pulmonary sarcoidosis in radiological follow-up (stable for about 4 years) presented massive right pleural effusion. After drainage, CT of the chest showed an increase in number and size of pulmonary nodules compared to the last check (8 months before). Surgical pulmonary biopsies were performed with the diagnosis of metastases from low grade sarcoma. The primary tumor was localized to the right buttock. Given the absence of symptoms, the extent of disease and many comorbidities the patien...

Recurrence of sarcoid granulomas in lung transplant recipients is common and does not affect overall survival.
Conclusions: Approximately 30% of lung transplant recipients due to sarcoidosis have recurrence of sarcoid granulomas. Recurrence of granulomas does not affect overall survival or lung function.

Treatment of newly diagnosed sarcoid-associated pulmonary hypertension with ambrisentan and tadalafil combination therapy.
We report three subjects with newly diagnosed SAPH who were treated with combination ambrisentan and tadalafil. Baseline hemodynamics were compared with those from surveillance right heart catheterization while on therapy. Mean follow up period was 17 months. Each subject demonstrated clinical and hemodynamic improvement with combination therapy. This series is the first to evaluate upfront combination ambrisentan and tadalafil therapy for treatment of newly diagnosed SAPH. Despite the impressive clinical and hemodynamic improvement, the study is limited by its small size and retrospective nature. While these initial resul...

Clinical Characteristics of Sarcoidosis in Asian Population: A 14-year Single Center Retrospective Cohort Study from Thailand.
Conclusion: The current study examined clinical characteristics of sarcoidosis in an Asian population and found high prevalence of uveitis and marked female predominance. (Sarcoidosis Vasc Diffuse Lung Dis 2020; 37 (4): e2020011).

The right upper lobe bronchus angle: A tool for differentiating fibrotic and non-fibrotic sarcoidosis.
Conclusion: The RUL-BA assists radiologists in differentiating fibrotic sarcoidosis from non-fibrotic sarcoidosis. Further research will determine if the RUL-BA measurement can help differentiate fibrotic sarcoid from other fibrotic lung diseases and if the angle can be used to follow disease progression.

Sarcoidosis and increased risk of comorbidities and mortality in sweden.
Conclusion: Individuals with sarcoidosis are at higher risk of comorbidities and mortality than matched controls as well as the general population of Sweden. These findings are important knowledge for healthcare professionals who meet sarcoid patients, to encourage identification and treatment of comorbidities to reduce the risk of impaired quality of life and, eventually, premature death.

Feasibility of cytological diagnosis of sarcoidosis with endobronchial US-guided transbronchial aspiration.
CONCLUSIONS: Cytological evaluation of the EBUS-TBNA specimens had higher sensitivity than histological evaluation alone for intrathoracic lymphadenopathy due to sarcoidosis. It should be recognized, however, that up to 6% of patients with thoracic malignancy may have sarcoid reaction in non-metastatic lymph nodes.

Propionibacterium acnes isolated from lymph nodes of patients with sarcoidosis.
We report two non-Japanese patients in whom mediastinoscopy was performed in order to obtain lymph node tissue for histopathology, which was suggestive for sarcoidosis. Bacterial culture of these uncontaminated mediastinal lymph nodes revealed P. acnes in both patients. As shown in these two cases, P. acnes can be isolated from sterile biopsied sarcoid lymph nodes of non-Japanese patients and supports the belief that there is an etiologic link between P. acnes sarcoidosis. Further elucidation could provide an opening to novel strategies using antibiotics for treating sarcoidosis.

Pulmonary stenting for the treatment of sarcoid induced pulmonary vascular stenosis.
CONCLUSIONS: Pulmonary vascular stenosis from external compression can be a rare but unrecognized caused of worsening symptoms in advanced sarcoidosis. Pulmonary vascular angioplasty and stenting can provide clinical benefit in select patients.

Extensive pulmonary sarcoid reaction in a patient with BMPR-2 associated idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension.
We describe a case of a 35-year-old woman with idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH) and a novel BMPR2 mutation, who underwent a successful lung transplantation. Extensive granulomatous inflammation was seen in the resected lungs. The granulomatous inflammation found in the histology supports a sarcoid-like reaction due to pulmonary hypertension in the context of the BMPR2 mutation.
