Background:

Digestive system involvement in sarcoidosis is an uncommon clinical presentation.
Sarcoidosis is a multisystem inflammatory disease characterized by non-caseating granulomas.

Observation:

A 35-year-old male with a 13-year history of sarcoidosis, initially presenting with mediastinal lymphadenopathy, developed epigastric pain.
Oeso-gastroduodenal endoscopy revealed inflammatory mucosa with numerous giant-cell epithelioid granulomas, notably lacking necrosis or fibrosis.

Findings:

Gastric sarcoidosis exhibits non-specific clinical and endoscopic features.
Histopathological confirmation relies on identifying epithelioid granulomas without necrosis.

Implications:

Accurate diagnosis of gastric sarcoidosis necessitates a comprehensive approach, including patient history, characteristic histology, and exclusion of other conditions.
Corticosteroid therapy is the mainstay treatment, potentially supplemented by endoscopic or surgical interventions for refractory cases.
