AB  - A broad differential diagnosis is important to provide appropriate care. This may 
      be challenging for conditions like decompression sickness (DCS) which can be 
      easily confused with other conditions. In suspected DCS, treatment may be an 
      important part of the diagnosis. An improvement in symptoms after hyperbaric 
      oxygen treatment (HBOT) is consistent with a DCS event. However, HBOT may also 
      impact symptoms in other conditions, including Lofgren's syndrome (LS). LS, a 
      poorly understood, clinically distinct phenotype of sarcoidosis, is a complex, 
      multi-system granulomatous inflammatory condition. Like DCS, LS symptoms are 
      heterogeneous and idiosyncratic. We report on a patient initially diagnosed with 
      DCS who presented new symptoms suggestive of LS after HBOT.
