We trust them with our lives, but what happens when Doctors can't figure out what's wrong? Emma and Hillary discuss medical mysteries and entertain you with rare, strange, and unusual case studies. These are based on (mostly) true stories collected from our friends, medical history, journals and fellow doctors. To protect privacy, names, dates and locations may have been altered.
Get ready for your medical mystery bolus!

EP 18 | Sarcoidosis
Tracy was 40 years old when she first noticed a raised bumpy area on her forehead just above her eyebrow. After the lesion didn't resolve on its own she saw a dermatologist for further evaluation.
For 10 years, Tracy was treated with ablative therapy where the dermatologist would burn these lesions off. Although she was never given a formal diagnosis, the dermatologist believed that they were warts and removal was required.
This treatment left scars, and the lesions kept returning. Then, on an chest x-ray unrelated to her lesions her doctors found her diagnosis.
Find out what caused Tracy's skin and lung findings on the Probably Not Lupus Podcast.
