Sarcoidosis with systemic involvement: a report of two cases

Sarcoidosis is a multisystemic granulomatose disease of unknown origin that most often affects the lung parenchyma and the mediastinal lymph nodes. Although less common, involvement of the abdominal organs and the central nervous is also possible. We present the radiological findings observed in two patients diagnosed with sarcoidosis with systemic involvement. In one case, the disease affected the lung, spleen, mediastinal and abdominal lymph nodes, whereas in the other case it affected the lung, spleen, abdominal lymph nodes and central nervous system. The aim of this report is to review the radiologic manifestations of this disease.
