Zusammenfassung: | Sarcoidosis is a multisystem disease characterized by non-caseating granulomatous organ infiltration. We describe an atypical presentation of sarcoidosis in a 43-year-old male presenting with fatigue and shortness of breath. He had a preceding history of recurrent venous thromboembolism (VTE), hemolytic anemia, cirrhosis, peripheral neuropathies, and calcium deposition, which pre-dated hypercalcemia; he was later diagnosed with IgA nephropathy. Clinicians should consider sarcoidosis in patients with findings of multisystem disease even without hilar lymphadenopathy or hypercalcemia. |
