ABSTRACT
The thyroid gland involvement in sarcoidosis is rare but not exceptional. Usually there is little or no clinical expression although hyperthyroidism may be present. The granulomatous infiltration of the thyroid gland cannot be responsible for all the abnormalities observed. In certain cases, there is undoubtedly an autoimmune disease. We report a case of concomitant discovery of sarcoidosis and Hashimoto's thyroiditis. Despite their relative frequency, there could be a relationship between these two pathologies, especially in light of their similar pathophysiology.
