Fallopian tube and pulmonary sarcoidosis. A case report
1Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Harlem Hospital Medical Center, Columbia University, New York, New York 10037, USA.
Background:
Female reproductive tract sarcoidosis is a rare clinical condition, especially when the fallopian tube is the site of involvement. A search of the medical literature revealed 22 cases of female genital tract sarcoidosis, with 6 cases involving the fallopian tube.
Case:
Sarcoidosis of the genital tract occurred in a woman with a 16-year history of pulmonary sarcoidosis.
Conclusion:
Since various diseases, including sarcoidosis and tuberculosis, cause similar histologic changes, obtaining bacteriologic proof is mandatory, for the diagnosis can have therapeutic and public health implications.
