Unlabelled: Sarcoidosis is a multisystemic syndrome characterized by non-caseous granulomatous inflammation, although necrotizing sarcoid granulomatosis is considered part of the spectrum of the disease. Drug induced sarcoidosis-like reaction (DISR) is a systemic granulomatous reaction, which is histopathologically identical to primary sarcoidosis - mostly described after the use of biologics like tumour necrosis factor alpha antagonists but also anti-CD20 (rituximab). The authors present the very rare case of a woman with a primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS) started on rituximab for disease control, which evolved with a 3-year indolent progressive systemic sarcoid reaction.

: ACE (angiotensin-converting enzyme) is considered a serological marker of sarcoidosis as elevated levels have been reported in 30-80% of patients. However, elevated ACE levels are also encountered in other medical conditions, and the clinical correlation between ACE levels and disease activity in sarcoidosis is disputable as well. To determine the significance of elevated ACE levels in the diagnosis and follow-up of sarcoidosis patients.

Common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) is a type of primary immunodeficiency that presents as a heterogenous disorder characterized by hypogammaglobinemia, poor response to vaccines, recurrent sinopulmonary infections, and can have noninfectious systemic manifestations.

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.
