title: [Mediastinal sarcoidosis and vascular thrombosis: a fortuitous association?].
abstract: A 43-year-old woman presented with a recent history of intermittent dyspnea with wheezing. The chest x-ray evidenced mediastinal nodes. A CT scan showed vascular embolism. Mediastinoscopy was performed and pathology examination of the node confirmed the diagnosis of sarcoidosis. The patient responded to corticosteroid and anticoagulation therapy. Is this a fortuitous association? A vascular localization of sarcoidosis? Thrombosis by compression?
