As a chronic and multisystemic granulomatosis of unknown origin, sarcoidosis can affect multiple organs throughout the body with variable progression and prognosis. Sarcoidosis may present with a battery of symptoms and signs, such as dyspnea, non-productive cough, uveitis, and erythema nodosum. Although the lungs and mediastinal lymph nodes are almost affected in sarcoidosis, involvements of the pleurae remain uncommon. Herein, we report a case of sarcoidosis with both pleural effusions and pleural nodules as confirmed by thoracoscopic pleural biopsy.

Background: Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is a frequent manifestation of connective tissue diseases (CTDs) and is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Clinical practice guidelines to standardise screening, diagnosis, treatment and follow-up for CTD-ILD are of high importance for optimised patient care.
Methods: A European Respiratory Society and European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology task force committee, composed of pulmonologists, rheumatologists, pathologists, radiologists, methodologists and patient representatives, developed recommendations based on PICO (Patients, Intervention, Comparison, Outcomes) questions with grading of the evidence according to the GRADE (Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluations) methodology and complementary narrative questions agreed on by both societies.

Human papillomavirus (HPV)-associated multiphenotypic sinonasal carcinoma (HMSC) is a relatively new classification of head and neck carcinomas that displays histological combinations of multiple different neoplasms. Despite their high-grade appearance, the disease course is often indolent. Here, we report a unique case of HMSC in which a patient with a prior history of sarcoidosis presented with two histologically, and anatomically distinct tumors in the sinonasal tract.

Purpose: Sarcoidosis is a chronic, multisystem granulomatous disorder characterized histologically by non-caseating granulomas. Despite the availability of various therapeutic options, long-term disease control remains a significant clinical challenge.
Materials And Methods: We report the case of a 55-year-old female diagnosed with sarcoidosis.
