Suggest Treatment For Sarcoidosis And A Lump On The Arm

about 5 years ago I was diagnosed with sarcoidosis after a biopsy on my tricep, followed by a mediastinoscopy a year later. Now I have a lump in my bicep area, (same side-right) and I am wondering if there could be any connection. I have had shoulder discomfort for about a year.

HI,Welcome to HCM virtual clinic.
Going by your history of Triceps Sarcoidosis,new Biceps lump could be due to the Sarcodosis.
Diagnosis needs to be fixed by FNAC Biopsy from a Surgeon.
Treatment is by -Excision of the lump ,
with Vit D3 supplements and
Main pillar treatment with Steroid-Prednisone.
This would need to taken under guidance of your treating doctor.
Shoulder discofort for 1 yr,seems to be from Biceps Sarcoidosis.
Sarcoidosis is a benign granuloma of auto-immune origin and need not be worried of being Cancer.
This would help you to plan treatment with your doctor.
Hit Thanks.
Will appreciate to find your review comment write up.
