| description | This report contains a rare case of a patient diagnosed with breast cancer and sarcoidosis concomitantly. During breast cancer treatment, routine imaging tests were performed and showed hypermetabolic thoracic and abdominal lymph nodes suggestive of neoplasia that insinuated breast cancer progression. Diagnostic investigation was carried out and an excisional lymph node biopsy confirmed sarcoidosis diagnostic. Sarcoidosis is a systemic disease of unknown etiology, characterized by non-caseating granulomas in several organs, mainly in the lungs and lymphatic system. The association with cancer has been observed in several studies, gaining focus after the sarcoidosis-lymphoma syndrome. However, granulomatous and metastatic lymph node lesions are difficult to distinguish even with modern diagnostic methods. Thus, histological verification is the only method that can be used to accurately describe the nature of this disease. As granulomatosis and breast cancer have a high incidence worldwide, its differentiation becomes an important tool in the specialists diagnostic approach. |
