Pleural involvement is uncommon, and sarcoidosis\u2010associated pleural effusion (SAPE) represents a rare clinical manifestation, reported in approximately 1% of cases. We describe a 24\u2010year\u2010old male presenting with bilateral pleural effusion and mediastinal lymphadenopathy. Comprehensive diagnostic evaluation revealed a lymphocyte\u2010predominant exudative pleural effusion with negative microbiological and cytological findings. Endobronchial ultrasound\u2010guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS\u2010TBNA) demonstrated non\u2010caseating granulomas consistent with sarcoidosis. Elevated serum angiotensin\u2010converting enzyme (ACE), soluble interleukin\u20102 receptor (sIL\u20102R), and serum amyloid A (SAA) supported active disease. The patient achieved complete clinical, biochemical and radiological remission following systemic corticosteroid therapy. This case highlights the importance of a rigorous differential diagnostic approach and careful clinicoradiological\u2013histopathological correlation in rare presentations of sarcoidosis.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/rcr2.70634","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,28]],"date-time":"2026-05-28T05:52:18Z","timestamp":1779947538000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Pulmonary Sarcoidosis Associated With Pleural Effusion: A Case Report"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5199-7339","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shp\u00ebtim","family":"Tha\u00e7i","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine University of Prishtina  Prishtina Kosovo"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Berat","family":"Krasniqi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine University of Prishtina  Prishtina Kosovo"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Arben","family":"Redjepi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hospital Acibadem Sistina  Skopje North Macedonia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4187-7218","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mentor","family":"Sopjani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Paramedicine University of Prishtina  Prishtina Kosovo"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_9_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1164\/rccm.202002\u20100251ST"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00063198\u2010200009000\u201000012"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1378\/chest.129.6.1599"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s10405\u2010022\u201000448\u2010y"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/thorax\u20102023\u2010220304"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/MCP.0000000000000075"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/MD.0000000000003009"},{"issue":"1","key":"e_1_2_9_9_1","first-page":"19","article-title":"Sarcoidosis: Evaluation and Treatment","volume":"109","author":"Partin M.","year":"2024","journal-title":"American Family Physician"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3389\/fmed.2025.1558049"}],"container-title":["Respirology Case Reports"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1002\/rcr2.70634","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/full-xml\/10.1002\/rcr2.70634","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1002\/rcr2.70634","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,26]],"date-time":"2026-06-26T02:41:21Z","timestamp":1782441681000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1002\/rcr2.70634"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,27]]},"references-count":9,"journal-issue":{"issue":"6","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2026,6]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1002\/rcr2.70634"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/rcr2.70634","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["2051-3380","2051-3380"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2051-3380","type":"print"},{"value":"2051-3380","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,27]]},"assertion":[{"value":"2026-03-12","order":0,"name":"received","label":"Received","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2026-05-19","order":2,"name":"accepted","label":"Accepted","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2026-05-27","order":3,"name":"published","label":"Published","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}}],"article-number":"e70634"}}
