| Abstract | Background Although the imaging manifestations of pulmonary sarcoidosis have been described in detail in previous studies, a consensus has not been reached on the imaging presentation of non-specific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP) lookalike pattern as a distinct pattern in the diagnosis of pulmonary sarcoidosis in high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT). No cases of pulmonary sarcoidosis comorbid with NSIP have been reported. Case presentation A 53-year-old male presented to the hospital with a five-year history of recurrent coughing up sputum and a four-year history of shortness of breath. In addition to the typical features of pulmonary sarcoidosis, the patient’s HRCT also showed unexpected interstitial changes in the lower lobes of both lungs, suggesting an NSIP pattern. Histopathology of the lung tissue in this region confirmed well-formed noncaseating epithelioid granulomas and pathological modifications of NSIP. After a rigorous exclusion diagnosis combining the patient’s clinical features, radiological and pathological findings, we diagnosed this patient with pulmonary sarcoidosis comorbid with NSIP. Conclusions This suggests that NSIP may act as a rare comorbidity of pulmonary sarcoidosis thereby resulting in the patient’s HRCT presenting differently from routine sarcoidosis imaging. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
