Sarcoidosis and regional enteritis in two patients.
Both sarcoidosis and Crohn's disease (regional enteritis) are characterized by granuloma formation and they also have an unknown etiology. Only a few subjects with co-existing sarcoidosis and Crohn's disease have been reported in the literature. We report two cases who suffered from both disorders. In the two subjects Crohn's disease began first and the symptoms of sarcoidosis came later; four and sixteen years, respectively.
