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

Data supporting the likelihood of sarcoidosis

  1. Demographics

## U.S. African American

    1. Northern European
  2. Medical history
    1. Non-smoker
    2. No symptoms(in patient with bilateral hilar adenopathy on CXR)
    3. Family history of sarcoidosis
    4. Symptoms involving more than two organs commonly involved by sarcoidosis
  3. Laboratory data
    1. Elevated ACE level (especially if > 2× ULN)
    2. Elevated calcium level
