Sarcoidosis of the female genital tract is a rare clinical entity with only 20 cases reported in the world literature to date. An additional case is presented with a review of the previously reported cases. The diagnostic and histologic aspects of the disease are also discussed. The presence of granulomatous diseases in the female genital tract should initiate a thorough investigation for potential etiologies by both the pathologist and clinician. Etiologies of granuloma fraction must include coccidiomycosis, foreign body reactions, lymphogranuloma inguinale, and tuberculosis. Bacteriologic proof is essential to differentiate these from sarcoidosis.
女性生殖道结节病是一种罕见的临床病症，迄今为止世界文献中仅报道了20例。本文报告了另外1例病例，并对先前报道的病例进行了回顾。还讨论了该疾病的诊断和组织学方面。女性生殖道出现肉芽肿性疾病时，病理学家和临床医生都应展开全面调查以寻找潜在病因。肉芽肿形成的病因必须包括球孢子菌病、异物反应、腹股沟淋巴肉芽肿和结核病。细菌学证据对于将这些疾病与结节病区分开来至关重要。
