SLRs can either mimic disease progression or present as part of the clinical manifestation, making diagnosis and treatment challenging. Our study reviewed the medical records of 31 patients who were candidates for postoperative treatment between June 2022 and June 2024.

Background: While many studies have reported renal involvement in sarcoidosis, there is limited description of the pathological manifestations of renal sarcoidosis (RS). This study aimed to explore the standardized pathological diagnosis of RS while evaluating the relationship among pathology, clinical manifestations, and prognosis.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective, single-center study of RS in renal biopsy cases treated in our department between January 2019 and December 2023.
Introduction: Only a few studies analysed the prognosis significance of erythema nodosum (EN) in sarcoidosis. Our objective was to analyze the prevalence of EN in sarcoidosis, its possible association of EN with extrathoracic sarcoidosis, and its prognostic significance.
Methods: Retrospective study including patients diagnosed with sarcoidosis at Bellvitge University Hospital, Barcelona, Spain, between 1980 and 2017.
