Abstract

Disease activity in Japanese sarcoidosis patients is generally mild. However, the pulmonary sarcoidosis coexisting with connective tissue disease is likely to be progressive. We report here three cases of sarcoidosis coexisting with connective tissue diseases, who developed pulmonary manifestations from stage II to stage III.
