[Gastric and colonic sarcoidosis. A case report].
Sarcoidosis is a disseminated disease defined by the presence of non-caseous granulomas. Digestive localizations are rare and the stomach is the mostly affected. The diagnosis is frequently difficult. We report the case of a digestive (gastric and colic) and hepatic sarcoidosis in a 38-year old woman. The clinical and endoscopic findings initially suggested linitis plastica. Subsequently the discovery of gastric granulomas led to the diagnosis of sarcoidosis. Coloscopy and abdominal scan were performed discovering a colic, hepatic and splenic localizations which were asymptomatic.
