Sarcoidosis associated with renal masses on computed tomography.

A 50-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital after computed tomography (CT) revealed renal masses and mediastinal lymphadenopathy. Uveitis had previously been diagnosed by a local ophthalmologist. Elevated levels of serum soluble IL2 receptor were observed. However, renal function was not compromised. Abdominal CT showed multiple low attenuation tumor-like nodules in both kidneys. As lymphoma was considered likely, CT-guided renal biopsy was performed; however, histological examination of the excised specimens revealed noncaseating granulomas. Analysis of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid demonstrated a sarcoidosis pattern. The final diagnosis was sarcoidosis with renal involvement.
