Peritoneal sarcoidosis: A case report
RATIONALE: Sarcoidosis is an idiopathic granulomatous disease. Although the lungs are most commonly involved, any organ may be affected. To assist with future diagnoses, we describe a rare case of peritoneal sarcoidosis in a young female patient, and present a literature review. PATIENT CONCERNS: A...

description | RATIONALE: Sarcoidosis is an idiopathic granulomatous disease. Although the lungs are most commonly involved, any organ may be affected. To assist with future diagnoses, we describe a rare case of peritoneal sarcoidosis in a young female patient, and present a literature review. PATIENT CONCERNS: A 32-year-old female patient presented to our institution with abdominal discomfort. She was evaluated with contrast-enhanced abdominal computed tomography (CT), and multiple enlarged lymph nodes were detected at the hepatic artery and left gastric artery nodal stations. The patient was lost during follow-up, but returned after 7 months and again underwent abdominal CT. This revealed diffuse nodular thickening of the peritoneum and the appearance of omental cake in her abdomen. DIAGNOSIS: Excisional biopsy of a lymph node was performed and extrapulmonary sarcoidosis was confirmed. INTERVENTIONS: The patient was treated with corticosteroid. OUTCOMES: A follow-up abdominal CT scan after two weeks revealed decreases in the numbers and sizes of the previously enlarged lymph nodes, and improvement in the ascites and peritoneal thickening. LESSIONS: Peritoneal sarcoidosis should be considered as an additional differential diagnosis when peritoneal carcinomatosis or tuberculous peritonitis are suspected. In this regard, serum levels of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) may be a valuable diagnostic indicator of unusual sarcoidosis presentations. |
