| Popis: | During a 2 year-period 12 Nigerians with sarcoidosis were diagnosed at the chest and dermatology clinics of the University College Hospital, Ibadan, Nigeria. Intrathoracic involvement was the commonest presentation followed by the skin, lymph nodes and liver. Histological diagnosis was obtained in all cases either from skin biopsy, transbronchial lung biopsy, lymph node or liver biopsy where applicable. This study suggests that sarcoidosis is not as rare as previous literature on the subject portrays. |
