[Mediastinal adenopathies and presence of anti-cytoplasmic antibodies of diffuse type polynuclear neutrophils].
We report a case of sarcoidosis with mediastinal and pulmonary localizations associated with diffuse antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (c-ANCA). This led to discuss the differential diagnosis with vascularitis and the specificity of c-ANCA in Wegener's granulocytosis.
