A Rare Case of Systemic Sarcoidosis in a Middle-Aged Female with a Solitary Thyroid Nodule
Sarcoidosis is a multisystem inflammatory disease characterized by the presence of noncaseating granulomas. Sarcoidosis can affect any organ of the body, the lung being the most affected. Sarcoidosis rarely affects the thyroid gland, and only a few cases of thyroid-related sarcoidosis have been repo...

| description | Sarcoidosis is a multisystem inflammatory disease characterized by the presence of noncaseating granulomas. Sarcoidosis can affect any organ of the body, the lung being the most affected. Sarcoidosis rarely affects the thyroid gland, and only a few cases of thyroid-related sarcoidosis have been reported in the literature. Herein, we report a case of systemic sarcoidosis with multiple organ involvement in a patient with a solitary left thyroid nodule and benign Fine Needle Aspiration (FNA) findings. The patient was eventually diagnosed with thyroid sarcoidosis using a core needle biopsy of the thyroid nodule. With this case report, we highlight the limitations of the FNA. This case report has the objective to encourage clinicians to include thyroid sarcoidosis in the differential diagnosis of thyroid nodules in patients with systemic sarcoidosis even with unremarkable FNA findings. |
