Gastrointestinal Sarcoidosis

A patient with long-standing sarcoidosis was found to have jejunal atrophy and nonnecrotizing granulomas of the stomach, small bowel, and colon when she presented with malabsorption. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Diagnosis of sarcoidosis may be difficult, especially if no other typical features are present. [journals.lww.com]

Given the multisystem involvement with significant chest findings, tissue findings of granulomatous disease, and negative workup for other causes of granulomatous inflammation, both cases were diagnosed with active disseminated sarcoidosis, and treated [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Provides all the necessary tools to make a comprehensive diagnostic workup including data from ancillary techniques and molecular findings whenever appropriate. [books.google.es]

Other laboratory workup to rule out the differential causes also came negative. With history of sarcoidosis, symptoms, and lab workup along with the histological findings the diagnosis was confirmed as gastric sarcoidosis. [hindawi.com]

    A body CT scan showed multiple peripheral and bilateral pulmonary nodules (Fig. 1 ), moderate left pleural effusion, bilateral axillary lymphadenopathy, slight homogeneous hepatosplenomegaly, multiple adenopathies in gastrohepatic ligament, and aortic [karger.com]

  • Rectal Ulcer

    On colonoscopy, a few scattered rectal ulcers were seen; otherwise, the terminal ileum, down to the sigmoid colon, seemed grossly healthy. Histologically, focal granulomas were present in tissue from the ascending colon to the rectum. [journals.lww.com]

  • Macrocytosis

    Throughout the 4-year follow up, the course of the disease was punctuated by several relapses on tapering of corticosteroids and later development of vitamin B 12 deficiency anemia: hemoglobin 10.6 gm/dL, macrocytosis (MCV 102, normal 80-91 fL), hyperchromasia [saudijgastro.com]

  • Tropheryma Whipplei

    Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) was elevated at 77 U/L, and rapid plasma reagin and Tropheryma whipplei testing were negative. Figure 2. EGD showing moderately erythematous mucosa at the pylorus. [acgcasereports.gi.org]

    Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) was elevated at 77 U/L, and rapid plasma reagin and Tropheryma whipplei testing were negative. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Bartonella Quintana

    Tests for serum antibodies against Bartonella quintana, B henselae, Histoplasma capsulatum and Coccidioides immitis showed negative results. [journals.lww.com]

  • Coccidioides Immitis

    Tests for serum antibodies against Bartonella quintana, B henselae, Histoplasma capsulatum and Coccidioides immitis showed negative results. [journals.lww.com]

The patient's course was favorable after treatment with prednisone and chlorambucil. Disseminated gastrointestinal sarcoidosis may be a previously unidentified cause of protein-losing enteropathy. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

She received treatment with PPIs and H. pylori eradication therapy. Patient recovered well and her last endoscopy shows the lesion without ulceration ( Figure 2 ). ???? Figure 1. [elsevier.es]

Prior reports on cancer related sarcoidosis are inconsistent in terms of prognosis; while some reports link sarcoidosis with a favorable prognosis, others associate it with recurrence and secondary malignancies. [ascopubs.org]

TREATMENT AND PROGNOSIS The prognosis of sarcoidosis is good in most patients. The majority of patients with acute disease recover completely. Those patients who do have residual damage of affected organs usually have only minimal organ dysfunction. [meddean.luc.edu]

Prognosis and Patient Counseling. Generally, a good prognosis. Less than 5% of patients die of sarcoidosis, with neurosarcoidosis and cardiac sarcoidosis being the main causes of death. [clinicaladvisor.com]

The etiology of pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis in this case was likely multifactorial and involved both effects of the corticosteroids as well as the advanced nature of the gastrointestinal sarcoidosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

ABSTRACT Sarcoidosis is a multisystemic granulomatous disease of unknown etiology that is based on the presence of non-caseating granulomas. Sarcoidosis commonly involves the lungs, skin, and eyes. [ekjm.org]

These individuals are considered to have “granulomatous gastritis of uncertain etiology.” Some of these patients will eventually present with an identifiable etiology for the granulomatous gastritis. [peertechz.com]

The differential diagnosis in particular with regard to refractory CD will be discussed based on a thorough clinical work-up, including genetic and immunological testing, that aimed to shed light on the pathophysiology of the disease association. [bmcgastroenterol.biomedcentral.com]

The exact mechanism of this relation is not known, but some evidence supports the hypothesis that this is a consequence of Th1 lymphokine prevalence. [55] [82] Tests of delayed cutaneous hypersensitivity have been used to measure progression. [83] Pathophysiology [en.wikipedia.org]
