Abstract
Granulomatous diseases are a heterogeneous group of diseases of various etiologies, manifested by a variety of clinical syndromes and variants of tissue changes, heterogeneous sensitivity to therapy and the predominance of a common dominant histological feature — the presence of granulomas that determine the clinical and morphological essence of each disease. Sarcoidosis occupies a special place among granulomatous diseases, as one of the most common and clinically significant pathologies of this group. A clinical case of a rare comorbidity, sarcoid reaction and prostate cancer, in a 61-year-old man, confirmed by examination of biopsy material, is presented.
