Sarcoidosis is a multisystem granulomatous disease of unknown aetiology. Granulomatous inflammation involving the spleen is common and associated with splenomegaly. However, massive splenomegaly is a rare occurrence. Infrequently massive splenomegaly can result in splenic infarction. Massive splenic infarction in sarcoidosis has, to our knowledge, not been previously reported. We present a case of a woman presenting with massive splenic infarction and sarcoidosis confirmed by granulomatous inflammation of the liver.
结节病是一种病因不明的多系统肉芽肿性疾病。累及脾脏的肉芽肿性炎症很常见,并与脾肿大相关。然而,巨大脾肿大是一种罕见的情况。巨大脾肿大很少会导致脾梗死。据我们所知,此前尚未有结节病伴巨大脾梗死的报道。我们报告一例女性患者,其表现为巨大脾梗死,且经肝脏肉芽肿性炎症证实患有结节病。
