Περίληψη:
Although autopsy series report liver granulomas in up to 70% of
patients, computed tomography detection of hepatic and splenic lesions
is described in 5% and 15% of sarcoidosis cases, respectively. A
rather rare case of liver sarcoidosis mimicking macronodular cirrhosis
is presented by this current article. Imaging findings in our patient
were in compliance with the diagnosis of liver cirrhosis, although liver
biopsy findings eventually revealed sarcoid granulomas located in the
portal and lobular areas without fibrotic lesions. Histological and
imaging modalities in liver sarcoidosis are discussed. (c) 2007 Elsevier
