Pseudoalveolar Form of Sarcoidosis: Etiology of Biological, Histological and Radiological Findings

Sarcoidosis is a favorable systemic granulomatosis accompanying an unknown cause. Parenchymal engrossment in the interstices is typical. The pseudoalveolar type is exceptional, frequently severe in onset, and disputing to identify, but it fast gets better with corticosteroid situation. Here, we present a case of pseudoalveolar sarcoidosis in a young female patient accompanying a distinctive and complicated radiological and clinical performance. In this work, we highlight the scarcity of this pseudoalveolar type, the challenge of an early labeling, and the significance of attractive it into consideration. However, in 25% to 30% of cases, the radiological judgments are atypical and inexperienced to most radiologists, making a correct diagnosis troublesome. There have been many reports of atypical forms of intrathoracic sarcoidosis. We assembled a case of unusual radiological verdict and described a disorder conventional form. Finally, we discuss the wonderful answer of this different form of sarcoidosis to corticosteroid therapy and the significance of starting medicine early.
