Abstract

The cases of six patients are reported illustrating that chest pain may be a prominent feature of sarcoidosis. It may be severe and be the chief presenting symptom. In the cases described it was mostly retrosternal and had few consistent aggravating factors. In each case there was bilateral hilar lymph node enlargement and it is suggested that this was chiefly responsible for this relatively uncommon symptom of sarcoidosis. It is also suggested that undue persisting pain may respond to corticosteroid administration.
