Unusual Clinical Presentation of Sarcoidosis with Thrombocytopenia, Bone Marrow Involvement, and Myocardial Infiltration: A Case Report
Abstract
This case study describes a 67-year-old female patient who presented with shortness of breath and quick exhaustion. In 2018, initial symptoms led to a diagnostic thoracic CT scan, which confirmed sarcoidosis using endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS). Despite the diagnosis, the patient did not receive treatment. A 2023 bone marrow biopsy revealed that the disease had progressed to include heart failure and thrombocytopenia. Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) was used for cardiological examination, which revealed impaired left ventricular wall motion. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed severe cardiac involvement by detecting full-thickness late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) in the left ventricle. This case report emphasizes the complexity and diversity of sarcoidosis symptoms, supporting a multidisciplinary approach for correct diagnosis and individual treatment approach.
