Abstract
Sarcoidosis is a multisystem disorder with unknown etiology and is characterized by noncaseating granuloma in involved organs. Sarcoidosis frequency involves the lungs. Common presenting symptoms include cough, dyspnea and chest pain. Massive hemoptysis is a rare presentation in sarcoidosis. There are a few reports on massive hemoptysis in sarcoidosis.
We are reporting the case of a 24 year old man who presented with massive hemoptysis and normal lung parenchyma. The diagnosis was made with mediastinal lymph node biopsy.
