Hepatic sarcoidosis.

Hepatic sarcoidosis mimicking cholangiocellular carcinoma: A case report and literature review

INTRODUCTION Sarcoidosis is a multisystem disease characterized by the presence of non-caseating granulomas in affected organs. Almost 70% of patients with a sarcoidosis reaction have hepatic involvement. However, evidence-based clinical management or treatment strategies for hepatic sarcoidosis are poorly defined. Here, we present a case of a resected hepatic sarcoidosis patient. Additionally,...

Hepatic Sarcoidosis Presenting as Portal Hypertension and Liver Cirrhosis: Case Report and Review of the Literature

Systemic sarcoidosis is a disease of unknown etiology, with the liver being the third most commonly affected organ. Most cases of hepatic sarcoidosis are not clinically apparent, but a few can progress to liver cirrhosis, portal hypertension and ultimately liver failure. The diagnosis of hepatic sarcoidosis is difficult, considering that no single laboratory test or radiographic finding can def...

Hepatic Sarcoidosis

Sarcoidosis is a multisystem disease characterized by the presence of non-caseating granulomas in affected organs. Pulmonary involvement is the most common site of disease activity. However, hepatic involvement is also common in sarcoidosis, occurring in up to 70% of patients. Most patients with liver involvement are asymptomatic. Therefore, the majority of cases are discovered incidentally, fr...

Budd-Chiari Syndrome: An Unusual Presentation of Multisystemic Sarcoidosis

Sarcoidosis is a multisystem granulomatous disease of unknown origin. All organs may be affected. Liver involvement is common but it is rarely symptomatic. Only a few cases of Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS) secondary to a hepatic sarcoidosis have been described so far. We describe a case of multisystemic sarcoidosis presenting with BCS. A 42-year old female was referred to our department for chroni...

Case of isolated hepatic sarcoidosis.

Late-onset sarcoidosis after liver transplantation for primary biliary cirrhosis.

Primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) and systemic sarcoidosis are granulomatous diseases of unknown etiology whose hepatic manifestations may infrequently be imitative of one another. Described herein is the first reported case in the medical literature of systemic sarcoidosis developing after liver transplantation for PBC. The presented patient, who suffered from typical clinical, laboratory, and p...
