Sarcoidosis and antiphospholipid syndrome: A rare association

Sarcoidosis is a systemic inflammatory disorder of unknown cause that is characterized by the granulomatous inflammation of various organs. Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is an autoimmune condition defined by persistently positive antiphospholipid antibodies as well as recurrent arterial or venous thromboses and pregnancy complications. Several autoimmune diseases have been described in patients with sarcoidosis, however, a possible correlation between sarcoidosis and APS remains unknown. We present the fifth reported case in the literature.
