Hemoptysis in sarcoidosis

Eur J Respir Dis. 1985 Apr;66(4):302-5.

Abstract

We describe 4 previously healthy patients with non-cavitated pulmonary sarcoidosis, whose presenting symptom was hemoptysis. Despite the presence of pulmonary involvement in about 90% of patients with sarcoidosis, hemoptysis as the presenting symptom is very rare and was described previously, to our knowledge, in only 5 patients.
