Abstract

Sarcoidosis is a rare autoimmune condition with appearance of non-caseating granulomas in multiple sites most commonly involving pulmonary sites and hilar lymph nodes. Females are more commonly affected than males with peak age of diagnosis between 20 to 40 years. Hepatic Sarcoidosis occurs in 11% to 80% of cases and is mostly asymptomatic. Symptoms include jaundice, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, fatigue, pruritus, fever, arthralgias and hepatosplenomegaly. Herein, we report an unusual case of isolated hepatosplenic sarcoidosis encounterd in our routine practice.
