Bilateral extensive nodular infiltrations and mediastinal lymphadenopathies were detected. Wedge resection and parietal pleura biopsy were performed for the patient. The pathology report indicated that the case should be further examined from the aspect of granulomatous diseases, especially the sarcoidosis. The diagnosis was made as galaxy sign of sarcoidosis. Hemoptysis is a rare symptom seen in sarcoidosis. The hemoptysis is observed at advanced stage of sarcoidosis and in presence of cavity in sarcoidosis. There is no study in literature regarding the initial complaint of hemoptysis in sarcoidosis case, for whom the galaxy appearance was observed radiologically. Here, we present the etiological causes of granulomatous inflammation in sarcoidosis with non-typical clinic and radiology.
