Abstract

Hippocrates has rightly said, “The wise should consider that health is the greatest of human blessings” and Oro-dental Diagnosticians work on this similar principle as they are concerned not only with the diseases involving the oral and perioral structures but also the systemic diseases having oral manifestations. By adapting a systematic approach to medical history taking and with appropriate clinical investigations; oral medicine experts have a role in providing oral health for overall health. We report a case on similar grounds wherein a patient has reported for routine dental care and our expertise in clinical history recording and examination, proved instrumental in making the patient aware of systemic condition. A case of systemic sarcoidosis with pulmonary involvement diagnosed on the basis of distinct radiological, haematological and biopsy findings along with the review of literature concerning this disease is included.

Keywords: Diagnosis; Sarcoidosis; Investigations.
