  • Title: [Endobronchial changes in sarcoidosis].
    Author: Ulmeanu R, Râjnoveanu A, Halic E, Popa D, Macri A, Mihălţan F.

    Abstract:
    The first case of endobronchial sarcoidosis was described by Benedict and Castelman in 1941. The endoscopic aspects in sarcoidosis can reveal: erythema, edema, network of capillary ectases, granularity, irregular mucosa thickening, macro and micro nodules in mucosa, bronchial and tracheal stenosis, distortions, tractions (including at the large and medium airways), sometimes bronchial ectases secondary to these modifications. The doctors must be aware of the possibility of affecting the great airways in sarcoidosis, such situation, although rare, could make for a difficult diagnosis, especially in the case of the tusigen syndrome or persistent and unexplained wheezing. The more the parenchimal disease progresses, the greater is the frequency of the airways being affected.
