Overview
Sarcoidosis has many differentials, which can be classified depending on the organ involved, pathologic findings and laboratory findings.
Differential Diagnosis
Sarcoidosis has been defined as a multisystem granulomatous disorder of unknown cause[1], but granulomatous inflammation alone is not sufficient for the diagnosis of sarcoidosis because alternative etiologies of granulomatous inflammation need to be excluded.
Causes of granulomatous reaction beside sarcoidosis
- Mycobacterium tuberculosis
- Mycoplasma
- Pneumocystis jiroveci
- Brucellosis
- Cat-scratch fever
- Atypical mycobacteria
- Toxoplasmosis
- Berylliosis
- Hard metal
- Zirconium
- Tattoo
- Hypersensitivity pneumonitis
- Medications (e.g., methotrexate)
- ANCA-associated vasculitis
- Necrotizing sarcoid granuloma
- Lymphoma
- Cancer
- Granulomatous lesions of unknown significance
- Crohn’s disease
- Lymphocytic interstitial pneumonia
- Behçet’s disease
- Rheumatoid nodules[1]
