Abstract: The coexistence of Sarcoidosis (SA) with thyroid malignancy has been reported in many cases [1-3]. Sarcoid-like reaction has also been seen either within the vicinity of the tumor itself or within the regional lymph nodes draining its primary tumor [4]. Abnormal immune response has been suggested for the SA and/or its reactions when it coexists with thyroid diseases [5]. The presence of SA or scrcoid like lymph nodes and soft tissue infiltrations with thyroid cancer makes the diagnosis malignant recurrence and/or metastasis difficult, and a thorough investigation should be done to properly identify the recurrence and/or the metastasis from the coexisting SA or sarcoid-like manifestations.
