Disseminated gastrointestinal sarcoidosis: Case report and review of the literature
1984
Abstract A patient with long-standing sarcoidosis was found to have jejunal atrophy and nonnecrotizing granulomas of the stomach, small bowel, and colon when she presented with malabsorption. There were no radiologic abnormalities of the gastrointestinal tract. Symptoms of malabsorption rapidly abated with corticosteroid treatment given for severe pulmonary disease. Gastrointestinal sarcoidosis was clearly established, although coincident celiac sprue could not be excluded. A brief discussion and literature review of gatrointestinal sarcoidosis is included.
