  • Title: Paralysis and a perihilar protuberance: an unusual presentation of sarcoidosis in a child.
    Author: Wurzel DF, Steinfort DP, Massie J, Ryan MM, Irving LB, Ranganathan SC.
    Journal: Pediatr Pulmonol; 2009 Apr; 44(4):410-4. PubMed ID: 19283837.
    Abstract:
    Sarcoidosis in children can present with extra-pulmonary manifestations, making diagnosis difficult. We describe a case of sarcoidosis in a child, presenting as a Guillain-Barré-like illness with the incidental finding of a perihilar mass. We also report the first successful use of the minimally invasive technique of Endobronchial Ultrasound-Guided Transbronchial Needle Aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) to delineate the cause of hilar lymphadenopathy in a child.
