A 76-year-old man who was known to have sarcoidosis, developed a lung tumor. He had previously undergone cardiac and abdominal vascular surgery, at which sarcoidosis was confirmed by lymph node biopsy. A right lower lobectomy was carried out. Postoperative pathology showed limited disease, but cancer recurred 1 year later. Issues regarding the combination of sarcoidosis and a malignant tumor are discussed.
