[Sarcoidosis with multiple bronchial stenoses and neoplastic changes in the lungs].

Abstract

A case report of a 45 year old female with a high suspicion of a lung tumor based on radiological and bronchoscopic findings is presented. Typical sarcoid changes were seen in biopsies from bronchial mucosa. Steroid therapy was instituted but due to intolerance had to be terminated. The patient was treated with chlorambucil, cyclophosphamide and azathioprine. Therapy was monitored with bronchoscopy. The best response was seen after steroid therapy, less to chlorambucil and cyclophosphamide. Azathioprine was least effective.
