Sarcoidosis with a recurrent “tree-in-bud” pattern in a high-performance athlete
Sarcoidosis en un atleta de alto rendimiento con patrón recidivante en “árbol en gemación”
Show authors biography
Sarcoidosis is a chronic systemic granulomatous disorder of unknown origin. It predominantly affects the lungs, but it can affect any organ. Sarcoidosis is a diagnosis of exclusion. A strict clinical, radiological and histopathological correlation is required for diagnosis and adequate treatment and follow-up. Herein we present the case of a young high-performance male athlete with an unusual radiological finding.
