A rare case of hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis associated with sarcoidosis
Sarcoidosis is a chronic granulomatous disorder often misdiagnosed as tuberculosis. Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a potentially fatal complication linked to extensive hemophagocytosis and hyperinflammatory response. Cases of sarcoidosis developing HLH are rarely documented and difficul...

| description | Sarcoidosis is a chronic granulomatous disorder often misdiagnosed as tuberculosis. Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a potentially fatal complication linked to extensive hemophagocytosis and hyperinflammatory response. Cases of sarcoidosis developing HLH are rarely documented and difficult to diagnose. We present the case of a 63-year-old female with sarcoidosis complicated with HLH, successfully managed at our center. |
