Anti-TNF-α for necrotizing sarcoid granulomatosis of the liver.

We present a case of hepatosplenic necrotizing sarcoid granulomatosis, a variant form of "classical" sarcoidosis, that became clinically apparent in the form of multiple hepatic and splenic masses mimicking malignancy. Flow cytometry of intrahepatic T cells isolated from liver biopsy led to the targeted treatment with anti-tumor necrosis factor-alpha, which was highly effective in inducing remission.
