Sarcoidosis Presenting in Breast Imaging Clinic With Unilateral Axillary Lymphadenopathy.

Thao Doan1, Nga T Nguyen2, Jing He3, Quan D Nguyen2.   

Abstract

Sarcoidosis is an idiopathic systemic granulomatous disease that presents with noncaseating granulomas most commonly affecting the lungs and mediastinal lymph nodes. Patients often have nonspecific symptoms, including cough of unknown cause, fever, shortness of breath, fatigue, or weight loss. The diagnosis for sarcoidosis is relatively challenging in the sole presence of swollen lymph nodes and the absence of the aforementioned symptoms. We present a case of unilateral axillary lymphadenopathy found on routine mammography; ultimately proven to be an atypical symptom of sarcoidosis. Our goal is to highlight radiologic features that help distinguish sarcoidosis from potential malignancy.
