Abstract
- Sarcoidosis is a rare multisystemic granulomatous disease. The lungs, lymph nodes, eyes, skin and liver are the most commonly involved. There are two distinct forms of sarcoidosis in children. One is early-onset(younger) childhood sarcoidosis characterized by skin rash, uveitis, and arthritis occurring before age 4 years. The other is late-onset(older) childhood sarcoidosis characterized by involvement of the lungs, the common radiographic finding is bilateral hilar lymph node enlargements, similar to the adult manifestation. We report a case of late-onset childhood sarcoidosis in a 6-year-old girl which is the first pediatric pulmonary sarcoidosis reported in Korea.
