title: Sarcoidosis of the liver: evaluation with multiple imaging modalities.
abstract: Although sarcoidosis of the liver is common pathologically, imaging findings are extremely rare, because the noncaseating granulomas are usually not macroscopic and thus do not produce focal abnormalities. We present 2 cases of liver sarcoidosis with focal findings on computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, nuclear scanning, and ultrasonography. Imaging characteristics, which may facilitate making the diagnosis, are presented.
