Abstract: Sarcoidosis is a chronic polysystemic disease of unknown etiology, classified as granulomatosis. Atypical radiological manifestations of the disease may challenge timely diagnosis. The aim of this work was to present a clinical case demonstrating the capabilities of modern diagnostic methods for disseminated lung diseases. The article presents a clinical case of a 39-year-old patient who was registered at a phthisiological clinic and received anti-tuberculosis therapy at a tuberculosis dispensary. The patient was referred to the Federal State Budgetary Institution “Novosibirsk Tuberculosis Research Institute” of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation, where cryobiopsy and pathomorphological examination led to diagnosing sarcoidosis. Conclusion. Modern high-tech endoscopic equipment allows for more informative investigations and shorter time to correct diagnosis.
