ABSTRACT
Gastrointestinal sarcoidosis commonly occurs subclinically, with clinical manifestations present in only 0.1 to 0.9% of patients with the disease. Gastric sarcoidosis particularly involves the antrum. Small bowel, liver and spleen involvement is seen in approximately 10% of patients with systemic sarcoidosis. We report a rare case of gastrointestinal sarcoidosis of the stomach and terminal ileum, affecting the liver and spleen without pulmonary involvement, who responded favorably to corticosteroid treatment
