Overview
On chest x-ray, sarcoidosis is characterized by bilateral hilar adenopathy and/or lung infiltrates. The most severe pulmonary complication of the sarcoidosis is lung fibrosis.
Chest X Ray
An x-ray may be helpful in the diagnosis of the sarcoidosis. On Chest X ray, Bilateral hilar adenopathy on Chest X Ray raises the suspicion for sarcoidosis, especially if the patient has no fever and/or weight loss[1][2]. Scadding[3] proposed a scoring system for pulmonary sarcoidosis according to Chest X Ray findings:
- Stage I: Hilar adenopathy alone
- Stage II: Adenopathy plus lung infiltrates
- Stage III: Lung infiltrates alone
- Stage IV: Fibrosis
