Usually concerned about sarcoidosis more than lymphoma with a high ACE level. They both can be co-diagnosed but this is a very rare phenomena. Pulmonologist is exactly who you need to see next as the lungs are most affected in sarcoidosis. Given prior work up, Id have low suspicion for malignancy.
What does this mean? Need a set of eyesHi, I went to hematology/oncology for low WBC count that resolved on its own and I have had lymphnodes that are palpable in my neck for years which have already been checked by another oncologist/surgeon/2 GPs and they werent concerned. However the recent DR I seen took an ACE test and I was elevated. I waited 6 months went to another doctor to re-test and it was at 136 while the cut off was 80 at this particular lab. Im very concerned and I have an appointment with a pulmonologist in a week. I have been stressing because Google says that high ace levels either indicate Sarcoidosis or Lymphoma. Does ACE levels mean malignancy? Google has such limited information on ACE levels and I need some knowledge. Im very concerned with Lymphoma.
