Sarcoidosis with involvement of the appendix.

H Clarke, W Pollett, S Chittal, M Ra.   

Abstract

Sarcoidosis with involvement of the vermiform appendix is a rare clinical occurrence. We describe a young woman with sarcoidosis whose initial manifestations suggested acute appendicitis. Histologic examination of the appendix showed noncaseating epithelioid granulomas without acute inflammatory changes.
