A CLINICAL CASE OF PULMONARY SARCOIDOSIS IN A PATIENT WITH CANCER
The planned fluorographic examination of the chest organs was starting point of the diagnostic process. The complexity of this clinical case is due to the fact that the results of PET combined with CT of the lungs in combination with anamnestic data were interpreted as a cancer process in the lungs with metastasis. However, the absence of a clinical picture of the oncological process, such as a “с alm” laboratory parameter initiated an in-depth examination with morphological verification of the diagnosis (the method of obtaining the material was transbronchial biopsy of the lungs and intrathoracic lymph nodes). In addition, the prescribed therapy with systemic glucocorticoids improved the patient's condition and previous radiological changes. This case demonstrates the significance of individual (personalized) approach in the diagnosis and treatment of sarcoidosis.
