An abnormal chest x-ray film showing hilar adenopathy, diffuse interstitial pulmonary infiltrations, or both, combined with a tissue biopsy revealing noncaseating granuloma, are suggestive of sarcoidosis; however, non-caseating granuloma may also be found in other forms of pulmonary disease. Immunologic and environmental evaluation of three patients with the diagnosis of sarcoidosis made by the above criteria, revealed hypersensitivity pneumonitis in all. Since therapeutic considerations in these two diseases are different (avoidance being the mainstay in hypersensitivity pneumonitis), all methods to ensure a correct diagnosis should be employed.
