Abstract
Tuberculosis and Sarcoidosis are chronic diseases that rarely occur concomitantly. Sarcoidosis is a
multisystem disorder of unknown etiology characterized pathologically by the presence of non-caseating granulomas in
involved tissues. We are reporting a rare case of concominant Pulmonary Tuberculosis and pulmonary Sarcoidosis in a
58yrs old female diabetic patient who was previously diagnosed with pulmonary tuberculosis bacteriologically confirmed
on sputum examination and treated with antitubercular therapy presented with progressive dyspnoea and dry cough.
