A man with a skin rash and left leg weakness was diagnosed with sarcoid-like reaction due to treatment for chronic lymphocytic leukemia, and ultimately also amyotrophic lateral sclerosis when the motor symptoms progressed.
Cardio-rheumatology focuses on addressing the intricate relationship between systemic inflammation and CV diseases. Discover the most common manifestations as well as the recommended diagnostic workup and imaging options.
Hydrocephalus is a rare complication of neurosarcoidosis, usually requiring prompt high-dose IV corticosteroids and neurosurgical treatment. Neurosurgery can have severe complications, but select cases may be eligible for drug treatment only.
Conduction system pacing (CSP) is a novel technique that involves pacing the His-Purkinje system instead of the traditional right ventricular apex, and which aims to avoid the adverse effects of the latter. CSP is gaining popularity but its long-term efficacy and challenges remain uncertain.
Two patients presented with concomitant features of sarcoidosis and hypersensitivity pneumonitis, suggesting a common biologic background, at least in some cases.

Non-infectious uveitis affecting the posterior segment of the eye (NIU-PS) is an inflammatory disease, which may result in severe visual impairment and tissue damage when it is not adequately treated and controlled [ 1 ]. Additionally, the …
Interstitial lung disease (ILD) encompasses a heterogenous group of respiratory conditions characterised by inflammation and/or fibrosis of the lung parenchyma [ 1 , 2 ]. Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), the most common and well-studied type of …
Granulomatous diseases include a diverse range of chronic inflammatory disorders with a wide variety of pathologies and clinical characteristics. In particular, the orofacial region can be affected by granulomatous conditions—whether as an …
Sarcoidosis is a multisystem granulomatous inflammatory disease of unknown cause, which can affect any organ, but primarily affects the lungs. Sarcoidosis can present as acute or chronic disease - acute sarcoidosis, with joint pain, erythema …
We report here the case of a 16-year-old girl with chronic kidney disease, where biopsy revealed tubulointerstitial nephropathy with granulomas. Initial treatments included immunosuppressive therapy unless genetic testing with exome sequencing …
This study investigates the thickness of retinal structures in patients with neurosarcoidosis (NS) and ocular sarcoidosis (OS). We compared the central macular thickness (CMT), retinal thickness (RT), central nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness …
Membranous nephropathy (MN) is a common cause of nephrotic syndrome in adults [ 1 ]. Untreated, up to 50% of patients with membranous nephropathy may develop end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) within ten years [ 1 , 2 ]. The recognition of membranous …
Cerebral vasculitis is a rare but severe manifestation of neurosarcoidosis (NS) that has received little attention. The aim of the present study was to characterize clinical and diagnostic features as well as potential treatment strategies of …
