Sarcoidosis of the stomach. A case report

A case of sarcoidosis of the stomach in a 76-year-old woman is described. Fiberoptic gastroscopy and roengenograms presented the appearance of an infiltrating carcinoma. It was possible to follow the spontaneous behaviour or roentgenograms during a period of 4 years. A preceding, spontaneously remitted lesion of the lungs is described, and the lack of parallelism between the two lesions is discussed. The case is seen in the light of other cases described in the literature, and the difficulties concerning the differential diagnosis are discussed.
