Sarcoidosis Complicating with Bilateral Pneumothorax

Cases of sarcoidosis rarely present with pneumothorax. Case is a 57-year-old woman. She has been having complaints of cough for the past four years. The patient received corticosteroid treatment for sarcoidosis for 16 months, and visited our clinic one month after she voluntarily terminated her treatment due to an increase in complaints of cough. In her physical examination, her right hemithorax responded less to general respiration during pulmonary examination. Her lung PA X-ray demonstrated a pneumothorax line in her left hemithorax. There was an increase in dyspnea and right sided chest pain during the clinical follow-up, a day after hospitalization. The PA X-ray demonstrated a pneumotorax in the right hemithorax. Bilateral tube thoracostomy was applied on the patient and mediastinoscopy was performed. Due to the rareness of concomitant bilateral pneumothorax and sarcoidosis, what kind of information was presented in the light of literature in our case.
