Overview
Physical examination
Pulmonary Sarcoidosis
In half of the patients diagnosed with sarcoidosis, the disease is found incidentally by a CXR (bilateral hilar lymphadenopathy, reticular opacities) before the symptoms develop. Lung is the most common organ involved by sarcoidosis, but up to 30% percent of patients present with extra-pulmonary manifestations of sarcoidosis. The most common pattern of lung involvement in sarcoidosis is interstitial lung disease (other less common pulmonary manifestations include pneumothorax, pleural thickening, chylothorax, pulmonary hypertension)[1][2][3].
- Crackles are not commonly auscultated on lung examination. Wheezing may be heard when there is endobronchial involvement.
- In 8 to 15 year-old children, the disease presentation is similar to adults but younger children present with skin rash, arthritis, and red eye(uveitis). 90% of the children have an abnormal CXR[4][5][6].
Cutaneous Sarcoidosis
Common types of skin involvement in sarcoidosis are:
- Papular sarcoidosis: usually involves lips, forehead, eyelids, neck, previous trauma sites, and alae nares.
- Nodular sarcoidosis: usually involves trunk and extensor surface of the arms and legs.
- Plaque-like sarcoidosis: commonly involves shoulders, arms, and back.
- Lupus pernio: purple or red indurated papules/plaques/nodules that commonly involves nose, cheeks, chin, and ears.
- Erythema nodosum: painful nodular lesions commonly involving anterior surface of lower extremities and is associated with good prognosis. Biopsy from erythema nodosum usually is not helpful.
- Subcutaneous sarcoidosis: resembles erythema nodosum but usually on upper extremities, and asymptomatic[7][8][9][10].
