Sarcoidosis Presenting with Concurrent Pericardial and Pleural Effusion-A Case Report

Sarcoidosis is a granulomatous disorder with multisystem involvement, including the lungs (90%), skin, eyes, lymph nodes, spleen, liver, heart, central nervous system, and kidneys, and with a predilection for adults younger than 40 years. Sarcoidosis affects females more than males. Diagnosis of sarcoidosis is made by clinico-radiologic and histopathologic findings of non-caseating granuloma, as well as exclusion of other granulomatous diseases, such as tuberculosis, fungus, and malignancy. However, the incidence of sarcoidosis with concurrent pericardial and pleural effusion is extremely low. Herein, we present the case of a 57-year-old female patient with concomitant pericardial and pleural effusion with a good response to prednisolone for 4 months.
