Abstract
Sarcoidosis, a granulomatous disorder of unknown etiology, primarily affects the lungs and lymph nodes. Extrapulmonary disease without any pulmonary involvement is rare. Sarcoidosis with an elevated serum CA-125 level has only been reported five times in the literature. We describe a case of localized hepatosplenic sarcoidosis, confirmed by biopsy, with associated CA-125 elevation. In our review of the current literature, this is the first reported case of localized hepatosplenic sarcoidosis with associated serum CA-125 elevation.Entities:
