Summary

Endometrial sarcoidosis is a rare cause of irregular menses in women. This case highlights its increasing relevance, particularly as genital tract tuberculosis incidence declines.

Area of Science:

  • Reproductive Medicine
  • Gynecologic Pathology
  • Systemic Inflammatory Diseases

Background:

  • Sarcoidosis is a multisystem granulomatous disease of unknown etiology.
  • Endometrial involvement is a rare manifestation of sarcoidosis.
  • Genital tract tuberculosis has historically been a significant cause of irregular menses.

Observation:

  • A 33-year-old woman presented with irregular menses.
  • She had a confirmed diagnosis of endometrial sarcoidosis.
  • A family history of sarcoidosis was noted.

Findings:

  • Endometrial sarcoidosis can present as a cause of abnormal uterine bleeding.
  • The relative importance of sarcoidosis as a cause of menstrual irregularities is increasing.
  • This shift is observed in conjunction with a decrease in genital tract tuberculosis rates.

Implications:

  • Clinicians should consider endometrial sarcoidosis in the differential diagnosis of irregular menses, especially in regions with declining tuberculosis rates.
  • Further research into the pathogenesis and management of endometrial sarcoidosis is warranted.
  • This case contributes to understanding the evolving landscape of gynecologic pathology and reproductive health challenges.
