Question

multiple choice question
which of the following is a radiographic sign of sarcoidosis?
please select your answer...
a pleural effusion
b lymphadenopathy
c mass
d tracheal deviation

Explanation:

Sarcoidosis is a multisystem granulomatous disorder. Lymphadenopathy, especially bilateral hilar and right paratracheal lymphadenopathy, is a common radiographic finding in sarcoidosis. Pleural effusion is not a typical sign of sarcoidosis. Masses are more characteristic of neoplastic processes rather than sarcoidosis. Tracheal deviation is usually due to volume - related changes (e.g., atelectasis, pneumothorax) or mass - effect from a large lesion, which is not a primary feature of sarcoidosis.

Answer:

B. Lymphadenopathy
