Abstract

Sarcoidosis is a systemic granulomatous disease that primarily affects the lung and lymphatic systems of the body. The lungs are affected in over 90% of sarcoid patients. Although paranchymal lung disease is more common, the airways may also be involved. Bronchial mucosa is often affected in sarcoidosis, but endobronchial mass lesions are very rare. We present a case with multiple endobronchial mass lesions due to sarcoidosis.
