Abstract
Sarcoidosis is a multisystem inflammatory disease of unknown etiology. Thoracic radiography is used to detect pathological changes in the lungs or intrathoracic lymph nodes. The classic image finding of pulmonary sarcoidosis is bilateral, symmetrical hilar and mediastinal lymph nodes enlargement. Lymph nodes are spherical or ovoid shape and homogeneous structure, with smooth clear contours, and without perifocal infiltration and sclerosis. Atypical manifestations of intrathoracic lymphadenopathy in sarcoidosis can be detected rarely. The presented clinical case indicates the importance of high-resolution computed tomography in patients with intrathoracic lymphadenopathy syndrome. It has to be noted that the detection of unilateral or asymmetric enlargement of hilar lymph nodes, the enlargement of mediastinal and pericardial groups of lymph nodes does not exclude sarcoidosis as a possible cause of pathology and requires morphological confirmation of the diagnosis. The case is discussed from the standpoint of personalized medicine and clinical recommendations.
