title: [Sarcoidosis of the large intestine].
abstract: 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, the extensive study of the gastrointestinal system revealed a tumor of the ascending colon, obstructing the lumen. The patient was subjected to laparotomy due to persistent symptomatology of intestinal obstruction. A right hemicolectomy was performed. The pathological findings were persistent with sarcoidosis of the large bowel. Post-operatively, the patient has been symptom-free over a period of more than one year.
