The association between sarcoidosis and hematologic involvement isbest understood as a pathogenic continuum, with cytopenias andhematologic neoplasms intertwined due to various etiopathogenicmechanisms. These mechanisms include sarcoid infiltration ofhematopoietic organs, common predisposing immunogenetics for thedevelopment of autoimmune cytopenias and malignancies, and anincreased risk of neoplasm development in patients with autoimmunecytopenias. Collaboration among the main specialties involved in theclinical management of these patients is crucial for an earlymonitoring and management.
