Multisystemic chronic sarcoidosis: unmasking of a true masquerader

Abstract

Sarcoidosis is a diverse disorder that can potentially affect almost every organ system, and mimics a wide-range of diseases. Here, we present a case of multisystemic chronic sarcoidosis affecting lung parenchyma, intrathoracic and extrathoracic lymph nodes and skin. The organ specific clinical manifestations developed over a course of time that did imitate different diseases at different times. Only after the full-blown disease, symptoms and investigations could be placed altogether as sarcoidosis.
