Summary

This case study highlights a rare instance of symptomatic gastric ulcers as the initial presentation of systemic sarcoidosis. The findings emphasize the importance of considering sarcoidosis in unexplained gastrointestinal symptoms.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Pulmonology
  • Immunology

Background:

  • Systemic sarcoidosis is an inflammatory disease characterized by granuloma formation in various organs.
  • Gastric involvement is uncommon, and typically presents without characteristic bilateral hilar lymphadenopathy.

Observation:

  • A 33-year-old woman presented with severe epigastric pain and weight loss.
  • Upper endoscopy revealed superficial gastric ulcers with granulomatous inflammation on biopsy.
  • Chest imaging showed no hilar lymphadenopathy.

Findings:

  • Bronchoscopy confirmed noncaseating granulomas and bronchoalveolar lavage suggested sarcoidosis.
  • This case represents a rare presentation of gastric sarcoidosis without typical lymphadenopathy.

Implications:

  • Symptomatic gastric ulcers can be an early indicator of systemic sarcoidosis.
  • This case expands the differential diagnosis for unexplained upper gastrointestinal symptoms.
  • Endoscopic evaluation can be crucial for diagnosing extrathoracic sarcoidosis.
