We examined a 22-year-old woman who was admitted to our hospital with abdominal distention. At 19 years of age, the patient presented with hepatosplenomegaly. She was examined several times in another hospital; however, the cause was unidentified. Our evaluation showed severe pancytopenia and a spleen 13×24 cm in size. The serum levels of angiotensin-converting enzyme and lysozyme were elevated. She was diagnosed with liver sarcoidosis based on non-caseating epithelioid granuloma in liver biopsy tissue. To improve the symptoms, splenectomy was performed, and her pancytopenia and symptoms improved. Sarcoidosis should be considered in cases of massive splenomegaly.
我们检查了一名因腹胀入院的22岁女性。患者19岁时出现肝脾肿大。她在另一家医院接受了多次检查,但病因不明。我们的评估显示严重全血细胞减少,脾脏大小为13×24厘米。血清血管紧张素转换酶和溶菌酶水平升高。根据肝活检组织中的非干酪样上皮样肉芽肿,她被诊断为肝结节病。为改善症状,进行了脾切除术,她的全血细胞减少和症状得到改善。对于出现巨大脾肿大的病例,应考虑结节病。
