Abstract

An asymptomatic patient presented with a chest roentgenogram showing bilateral hilar enlargement compatible with stage II sarcoidosis. However, evaluation revealed double primary bronchogenic carcinoma. A possible pitfall in the non-pathologic diagnosis of sarcoidosis and the implications of double primary bronchogenic carcinoma are discussed.
