Background
Sarcoidosis is a systemic granulomatous disease of unknown aetiology. Although it may involve any organ, thoracic manifestation is most common and is responsible for most of mortality and morbidity[1]. Despite high prevalence of pulmonary involvement, most patients are asymptomatic or present with nonspecific symptoms. Thus a radiologist plays a vital role in establishing early diagnosis and further management.
