ABSTRACT

Sarcoidosis is a multisystem granulomatous disease of unknown cause that

primarily affects the lung and lymphatic systems of the body (1). Any organ may be affected, including the abdominal organs. As with other forms of

sarcoidosis, abdominal sarcoidosis presents diagnostic, prognostic, and

therapeutic dilemmas. In this chapter, sarcoidosis of the liver and spleen

is reviewed with particular attention given to manifestations, methods of

diagnosis, and treatment options.
