title: Sarcoidosis within a renal allograft: a case report and review of the literature.
abstract: Sarcoidosis is an unusual disorder of unknown etiology. Clinically apparent renal involvement is rare in sarcoidosis. The incidence of recurrence in transplant recipients is unknown with few cases having been reported previously. Herein we report a case of sarcoidosis involving a renal allograft that occurred 3 years after transplantation and provide a literature review.
