    AbstractA 23-year-old man was admitted to our hospital because of non-productive cough. Chest X-ray demonstrated bilateral hilar lymphadenopathy, bilateral infiltration shadows and right pleural effusion. ECG showed complete A-V block and sinus arrest. Transbronchial lung biopsy and pleural biopsy specimens showed non-necrotizing epithelioid cell granulomas. The patient was diagnosed as having sarcoidosis, and was treated with steroid and pacemaker. After steroid therapy, myocardial imaging with thallium-201 showed increase of uptake and the pleural effusion disappeared.
