    This report details a rare case of peritoneal sarcoidosis, a condition affecting the abdominal lining. It highlights the importance of differentiating this from other granulomatous reactions, especially in patients with a history of surgery.

    Area of Science:

    • Pulmonology
    • Gastroenterology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Sarcoidosis is a multisystem inflammatory disease characterized by non-caseating granulomas.
    • Mediastino-pulmonary and cutaneous sarcoidosis are common presentations.
    • Peritoneal involvement in sarcoidosis is exceptionally rare, with limited documented cases.

    Observation:

    • A rare case of sarcoidosis involving the peritoneum is presented.
    • The patient had a history of mediastino-pulmonary and cutaneous sarcoidosis.
    • Peritoneal granulomas containing birefringent bodies were observed.

    Findings:

    • The case highlights the rarity of peritoneal sarcoidosis (8 reported cases).
    • It emphasizes the need to distinguish sarcoid granulomas from reactions to foreign bodies (talc, starch).

  • The presence of birefringent bodies in peritoneal granulomas suggests a potential link to sarcoidosis.

    • Implications:

    • This case expands the known spectrum of sarcoidosis manifestations.
    • It underscores the diagnostic challenge in differentiating sarcoid granulomas from exogenous reactions.
    • Further research may elucidate the pathogenesis of peritoneal sarcoidosis.
