A case of inactive sarcoidosis associated with protein-losing enteropathy, severe hypoalbuminemia and diarrhea is reported. 99mTc-labeled human serum albumin was performed to show protein loss. There was no abnormal upper gastrointestinal mucosa as shown by peroral duodenal and jejunal biopsies.
Sarcoidosis is a chronic and systemic disorder characterized by the formation of non-caseating granulomas. Very few cases of isolated gastrointestinal sarcoidosis have been reported, and even fewer, if any, report gastrointestinal sarcoidosis within multiple gastrointestinal sites concomitantly. We
BACKGROUND
Gastric involvement is the least rare among digestive localizations of sarcoidosis, as well in adults as in children. When it is to be seen at the beginning of the disease, it may cause difficulties in the diagnostic, especially with Crohn's disease.
METHODS
Gastric ulcers were detected
A patient, whose symptoms included epigastric pain, nausea and vomiting relieved with antacids but with no history of diarrhea or constipation, was found to have generalized sarcoidosis involving his lungs, liver, lymph nodes, skin, stomach and rectum. Because sarcoidosis rarely involves the
Sarcoidosis is a systemic disease characterized by an immune-mediated disorder, which leads to the development of non-caseating granulomas in the involved organs. More than 90% of patients with sarcoidosis present lungs and lymphatic system involvement at onset, while less than 10% has an isolated
We report two cases of gastrointestinal sarcoidosis. One patient had a gastric involvement, the other a duodenal and ileum involvement. The two patients had the same symptoms, including diarrhea, vomiting, abdominal pain and weight loss. Endoscopic examination revealed only an erythematous gastritis
A 63-year-old man presented with massive diarrhea and weight loss. This was preceded by nonspecific symptoms for three years, which resembled sarcoidosis. By duodenal biopsy, the diagnosis of Whipples disease was confirmed. Antibiotic treatment resulted in rapid and complete disappearance of signs
A 68-years old female patient suffering over a period of several weeks from fatigue, weight loss, recurrent diarrheas and mild fever was admitted in our clinic. A few months ago, sarcoidosis of a cervical lymph node had been diagnosed and had been treated with steroids. During the present admission,
Whipple's disease is a rare, systemic disorder characterized by arthritis, serositis, diarrhea, malabsorption, lymphadenopathies, weight loss, fever, cutaneous hyperpigmentation and central and peripheral nervous system disorders. There are approximately 60 published cases with pulmonary
A 15-year-old Japanese girl had widespread annular serpiginous erythematous plaques, bilateral granulomatous uveitis, bloody diarrhea, and seronegative arthralgia. She also had anemia and leukopenia. The histopathologic findings were compatible with those of annular elastolytic giant cell granuloma.
This 68-year-old woman with a 9-year history of skin sarcoidosis presented with abdominal pain, bloating, and diarrhea. Following positive occult fecal blood, a diagnosis of ascending colon sarcoidosis was pathologically confirmed after colonoscopy. FDG PET/CT was performed for sarcoid staging, and
Sarcoidosis is a multisystemic disorder of unknown cause that affects almost every tissue in the body. Colon is an extremely rare location of this disease. Clinical presentation, endoscopic appearances, and radiologic findings are not specific and may mimic much other affection. We report the case
