Extrapulmonary Sarcoidosis Manifested as Cirrhosis with Portal Hypertension
Abstract
Hepatic involvement has been reported in 20-30% of patients with systemic sarcoidosis. However, isolated liver involvement is rare. We report a case of cirrhosis with portal hypertension, diagnosed as hepatic sarcoidosis based on high angiotensin-converting enzyme level and presence of multiple non-caseating granulomas in liver histopathology. She improved clinically after treatment with steroid and ursodeoxycholic acid.
