PMCID: PMC2571828  PMID: 8107164

Abstract

This case report describes a patient with sarcoidosis who developed superior vena cava syndrome, breast granuloma, and tracheobronchial stenosis, all as a direct result of the primary underlying disease. While each of these entities has been described individually as being associated with sarcoid, this is the first case in which all have occurred in the same patient.
