| description | Sarcoidosis is a multisystem disease most commonly affecting the lungs but also can rarely manifest as pleural effusions. Sarcoidosis associated pleural effusion occurs in around 1% of patients with sarcoidosis. Pleural fluid is typically exudative, lymphocyte predominant, with high pleural protein levels and normal or mildly elevated lactate dehydrogenase. Diagnosis involves excluding other etiologies of this pleural effusion and can be made clinically or definitively with pleural biopsy showing noncaseating granulomas. Treatment involves corticosteroids to which patients typically have an excellent response with resolution of the pleural effusion. |
