[Sarcoidosis and diabetes: therapeutic aspects].

First Case: A 45-year-old female patient with diabetes was on corticosteroid therapy for a year due to pulmonary sarcoidosis. During the last six years she was treated with oral antidiabetic drugs, but during the last couple of months, she required insulin therapy due to impaired glycoregulation. After corticosteroid therapy was discontinued, glycoregulation improved and insulin therapy was discontinued as well.

[Sarcoidosis localized in endocrine glands].

Introduction: There is a relationship between sarcoidosis and endocrine diseases: hypothalamus, hypophysis, thyroid gland, parathyroid gland, adrenal gland and calcium metabolism disorder.

Discussion: Neurological disorders, obesity, secondary hypogonadism, and thirst as a result of diabetes insipidus, dominate the clinical picture of hypothalanmic sarcoidosis. Diseases of adenohypophysis present with gonadotropic insufficiency and prolactin increase.
