Resumen
Sarcoidosis is a systemic granulomatous disease of unknown aetiology characterised by the appearance of noncaseifying epithelioid
granulomas in the affected organs, most commonly the lungs, skin, and eyes (Iannuzzi et al. 2007). Necrotizing Sarcoid
Granulomatosis (NGS) is a rare and little-known form of disease, which also presents nodular lung lesions, and it shares
pathologic and clinical findings with sarcoidosis, where the presence of necrosis may lead to misdiagnosis of tuberculosis (TB),
leading to a consequent delay in treatment of the underlying entity (Chong et al. 2015). ,is is exactly what happened with the two
cases that we present here.
