Three cases with clinical, roentgenological and histological manifestations of sarcoidosis are presented. All were later proved to have active pulmonary tuberculosis by the finding of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in sputum and tissue cultures. The need to exclude other diseases known to cause the same clinical, roentgenological and histological features found in sarcdosis is emphasized.
