A Rare Case Study About Necrotizing Granulomatous Sarcoidosis.

Sarcoidosis is a granulomatous disorder with an elusive etiology and pathogenesis. Classically, sarcoidosis is associated with non-caseating granulomas composed of mononuclear phagocytes, lymphocytes, and multinucleated giant cells. Necrotizing granulomas can also be associated with sarcoidosis but is scarcely reported in the medical literature. Necrotizing sarcoid granulomatosis is challenging to diagnose due to its rarity and similarity with other necrotizing disorders. Therefore, it is mainly considered a diagnosis of exclusion. We report one such case study, which could prompt further research to lay the course of treatment strategies for this disease. Moreover, our patient had a family history of sarcoidosis, which raises questions regarding possible genetic predisposition, and future work might help solve this medical mystery.
