    Journal: Pathol Int; 2012 May; 62(5):335-8. PubMed ID: 22524662.
    Abstract:
    A 62-year-old male developed metachronous aortic aneurysms at different locations over an interval of one year and three months. He was diagnosed to have sarcoid aneurysms due to the presence of noncaseating epithelioid granulomas in the aortic wall and lymph nodes. The patient was treated with steroids, but his sarcoidosis progressed gradually and extended into other major organs, and the lungs and heart were clinically determined to have been involved by sarcoidosis. He died of cardiac tamponade four years after the first operation for an aortic aneurysm.
