Imaging findings
Follow-up imaging for melanoma revealed bilateral hilar and mediastinal lymph node enlargement, with no other findings suggestive of metastatic disease.
Key takeaways
This case illustrates sarcoidosis masquerading as metastatic disease in a patient with melanoma, highlighting the importance of considering sarcoidosis (confirmed by transbronchial biopsy showing non-caseating granulomas) when evaluating symmetric lymphadenopathy, even in oncologic contexts.
