ABSTRACT

An autopsy case of a systemic granulomatous inflammation is presented with differential diagnosis and a tentative final interpretation. The patient, a 31 years old male, was admitted to the hospital for shortness of breath and died within 17 days of his admission. Anatomic and laboratory investigations revealed a disease suggestive of sarcoidosis or tuberculosis, yet the final diagnosis remains open for discussion.
