 A 19-year-old male was admitted for further examination of cervical lymphadenopathy. Chest CT scan revealed bilateral hilar lymphadenopathy, micronodular lesions and multiple cavitary lesions. Moreover, uveitis and elevation of serum angiotensin-converting enzyme level were observed. Pathological findings of transbronchial lung biopsy and cervical lymph node biopsy disclosed non-caseating epithelioid cell granulomas without mycobacterial or fungal infection. From these findings, we diagnosed that the cavitary lesions were due to sarcoidosis. After treatment with prednisolone (30mg/day), bilateral hilar lymphadenopathy, micronodular lesions and multiple cavitary lesions showed improvement. Corticosteroid therapy is not effective for primary pulmonary cavitation in sarcoidosis. This is a rare and instructive case of sarcoidosis with primary pulmonary multiple cavitations that was effectively treated by corticosteroid therapy.
