Abstract

The simultaneous presence of hematological malignancies and sarcoidosis, defined as sarcoidosis‑lymphoma syndrome, has been reported in 79 patients in the literature to date. The majority of these patients were affected by sarcoidosis and developed non‑Hodgkin lymphoma or acute leukemia after 1‑2 years; however, in <20 cases the malignancy developed first. This report presents the case of an 83‑year‑old male with a clinical history of Helicobacter pylori‑positive gastric mucosa‑associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma. The patient developed sarcoidosis 10 years after the first diagnosis, which caused the diagnostic work‑up and differential diagnosis between a lymphoma relapse and de novo sarcoidosis to be challenging.
