  • Title: [Sarcoidosis and sarcoid-like granulomas in the liver].
    Author: Loginov AS, Aruin LI, Shepeleva SD, Shatalova OL, Tkachev VD, Petrova OP.
    Journal: Ter Arkh; 1990; 62(12):51-5. PubMed ID: 2084923.
    Abstract:
    Based on examination of 2450 liver biopsy specimens it has been shown that different granulomas occur in 4% of all the biopsy specimens. Of these, sarcoid-like granulomas are detectable in 13.5% of cases. Diagnosis of liver sarcoidosis is always based on the clinicomorphological findings with regard to an injury to at least of one more organ or tissue characteristic for such a disease. Sarcoid impairment of the liver is not infrequently coupled with chronic liver disease. The greatest difficulties may occur in differential diagnosis between primary biliary cirrhosis and sarcoidosis.
