Pulmonary sarcoidosismay be classified on a chest radiograph into 5 stages1-2:
-
stage 0: normal chest radiograph
- 5-10% of patients at presentation
-
stage I: hilar or mediastinal nodal enlargement only
- 45-65% of patients at presentation
- 60% go onto complete resolution
-
stage II: nodal enlargement and parenchymal disease
- 25-30% of patients at presentation
-
stage III: parenchymal disease only
- 15% of patients at presentation
- stage IV: end-stage lung (pulmonary fibrosis)
Although in general patients progress from one stage to the next this system does to correlate particularly well on clinical severity 1,2. In fact, chest x-ray appearances often are more dramatic than functional impairment 2.
