I put together these medical challenges. The cases are hypothetical and do not necessarily represent actual or typical presentations of medical diseases. Disclaimer is at the bottom of this page.

hey - i realize it's hard to come up with good puzzles every other day, but i wish you included a history and course. Otherwise it's just about matching pathognomonic signs with a disease, which requires less reasoning and more "brute force."
:P Yeah I know. No time for anything but boards studying these days!
I Never Really Learned This Disease
The first image shows bilateral hilar adenopathy. The second image shows anterior uveitis. This, along with restrictive lung disease, erythema nodosum, Bell’s palsy, epithelial granulomas, hypercalcemia, and elevated ACE suggest sarcoidosis. The key histopathological finding in sarcoidosis is noncaseating granulomas.
