ABSTRACT
Sarcoidosis is a multi-systemic inflammatory disease of unknown etiology, histologically characterized by the presence of non caseating granulomas. The diagnostic suspicion relies on clinical, epidemiological, biological and radiological elements. It is confirmed by an evocative histology and by the exclusion of other granulomatous pathologies. The aim of this article is to expose some clinical manifestations of extrapulmonary sarcoidosis particularly the cardiac and abdominal involvements. A register was made on cases of sarcoidosis diagnosed in CHUV from 2000 to 2009. It demonstrates the rarity of the disease in the region of Lausanne and confirms the existence of purely extra-thoracic affections.
