Abstract

The atypical imaging manifestations of thoracic sarcoidosis included unilateral hilar lymphadenopathy with or without mediastinal lymphadenopathy, mediastinal lymphadenopathy without hilar lymphadenopathy, patchy consolidation, the sarcoid galaxy sign, the reversed halo sign, ground-glass opacity, and air trapping. These lesions mostly improved after treatment. Familiarity with these atypical signs will help increase the diagnostic accuracy of imaging studies for thoracic sarcoidosis.
