title: [Clinical methodology employed to solve a case of probable sarcoidosis].
abstract: A case of interstitial lung disease with fever and arthralgia is described. Sarcoidosis was very probable, but the patient refused the invasive investigations that were needed in order to obtain a histological diagnosis of certainty. We discuss the clinical methodology employed to solve the case.
