Cavitary forms of thoracic sarcoidosis: literature review and personal observation
https://doi.org/10.65249/1027-7218-2025-12-53-61
Abstract
Cavitary forms of sarcoidosis, which require differential diagnosis with other diseases manifested by radiographic cavity patterns, polysegmental nodular lesions, and hilus and mediastinal lymphadenopathy, are extremely rare.
This article analyzes the literature on the topic under study, and presents a clinical and radiographic observation of a patient with cavitary sarcoidosis.
