Abstract
Sarcoidosis is uncommon but not rare disease in western nations. But in Korea there is no case report of thisdisease yet. Diagnosis of sarcoidosis is considered established when typical radiological finding and consistentclinical features are present with biopsy evidence of noncaseating epithelioid tubercles or a positive Kveim test.The patient is 40 year old Korean female with complaint of visual disturbance. Chest radiograms show bilateralhilar and paratracheal lymphadenopathy and pulmonary parenchymal involvement. Biopsy of nodule at left knee showsnon-caseating tuberculoma. Tuberculin skin-test with PPD of 1:2000 is negative. Sputum smear for A.F.B. arenegative for 4 times. Kveim test is positive. We think that more cases will be found in Korean, if we consider thepossibility of sarcoidosis when see a chest radiogram with lymphadenopathy with or without parenchymal change.
