Diagnosing sarcoidosis remains challenging. Histology findings and a variable clinical presentation can mimic other infectious, malignant, and autoimmune diseases. This review synthesizes current evidence on histopathology, sampling techniques, imaging modalities, and biomarkers and explores how emerging ‘omics’ and artificial intelligence tools may sharpen diagnostic accuracy.
Recent findings
Within the typical granulomatous lesions, limited or ‘burned-out’ necrosis is an ancillary finding, which can be present in up to one-third of sarcoid biopsies, and demands a careful differential diagnostic work-up. Endobronchial ultrasound–guided transbronchial needle aspiration of lymph nodes has replaced mediastinoscopy as first-line sampling tool, while cryobiopsy is still under validation. Volumetric PET metrics such as total lung glycolysis and somatostatin-receptor tracers refine activity assessment; combined FDG PET/MRI improves detection of occult cardiac disease. Advanced bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) immunophenotyping via flow cytometry and serum, BAL, and genetic biomarkers show to correlate with inflammatory burden but have low diagnostic value. Multi-omics signatures and Positron Emission Tomography with Computer Tomography radiomics, supported by deep-learning algorithms, show promising results for noninvasive diagnostic confirmation, phenotyping, and disease monitoring.
Summary
No single test is conclusive for diagnosing sarcoidosis. An integrated, multidisciplinary strategy is needed. Large, multicenter, and multiethnic studies are essential to translate and validate data from emerging AI tools and -omics research into clinical routine.
期刊介绍:
Current Opinion in Immunology aims to stimulate scientifically grounded, interdisciplinary, multi-scale debate and exchange of ideas. It contains polished, concise and timely reviews and opinions, with particular emphasis on those articles published in the past two years. In addition to describing recent trends, the authors are encouraged to give their subjective opinion of the topics discussed.
In Current Opinion in Immunology we help the reader by providing in a systematic manner: 1. The views of experts on current advances in their field in a clear and readable form. 2. Evaluations of the most interesting papers, annotated by experts, from the great wealth of original publications.
Current Opinion in Immunology will serve as an invaluable source of information for researchers, lecturers, teachers, professionals, policy makers and students.
Current Opinion in Immunology builds on Elsevier''s reputation for excellence in scientific publishing and long-standing commitment to communicating reproducible biomedical research targeted at improving human health. It is a companion to the new Gold Open Access journal Current Research in Immunology and is part of the Current Opinion and Research(CO+RE) suite of journals. All CO+RE journals leverage the Current Opinion legacy-of editorial excellence, high-impact, and global reach-to ensure they are a widely read resource that is integral to scientists'' workflow.
