  • Title: Sarcoidosis presenting as granulomatous colitis.
    Author: Dumot JA, Adal K, Petras RE, Lashner BA.
    Journal: Am J Gastroenterol; 1998 Oct; 93(10):1949-51. PubMed ID: 9772062.
    Abstract:
    Sarcoidosis presenting solely as a granulomatous colitis is rare and appears identical to Crohn's disease. A 56-yr-old woman developed a Crohn's-like illness, which remitted after 5-ASA therapy. Two months later, she developed fever, adenopathy, muscle weakness, and peripheral neuropathy. A diagnosis of sarcoidosis was made after an extensive search for an infectious or rheumatological cause. This case illustrates the utility of serum angiotensin converting enzyme level in differentiating sarcoidosis from Crohn's disease.
