Sarcoidosis Presenting as Necrotizing Sarcoid Granulomatosis of the Liver, Sclerosing Cholangitis, and Gastric Ulcer

چکیده
Sarcoidosis is a multisystem granulomatous disease. The liver is affected in up to 50-90% of cases. Sarcoidosis typically presents as non-necrotizing epithelioid granuloma. The occurrence of non-infective necrotizing sarcoid granuloma (NSG) is infrequent, and the finding of NSG in the liver is rare. We report a case of NSG of the liver and lymph nodes, granulomatous gastric ulcer, and secondary cholangitis coexisting in a patient. We discuss the clinical features of the case and briefly review NSG. There is only 1 previously reported case of NSG of the liver in literature.
