Although usually more associated with the lungs, sarcoidosis can have multiple extrapulmonary manifestations. We present a case of a patient with previous biopsy-proven sarcoidosis who was admitted to the hospital secondary to worsening shortness of breath. The patient was found to be positive for Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) which was believed to have exacerbated his pulmonary symptoms. He was treated with IV steroids, nebulizers, and antibiotics which ultimately helped relieve his symptoms. In terms of his sarcoidosis, he was previously treated in the past with steroids in regards to this pathology (which is the mainstay of treatment); while on the regimen, the patient noted his breathing was improved. Of note, he did also have a history of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) status post nephrectomy which was initially evaluated for possible sarcoidosis involvement. This medical therapy could also have been the reason his sarcoidosis did not progress to involve other organs.
