Abstract

Sarcoidosis is an idiopathic, multi-systemic, granulomatous disease. It most commonly involves the lungs. Herein, we present a rare and usually asymptomatic case with splenic sarcoidosis without liver involvement. A 31-year-old male patient was admitted to our clinic with cough, sputum, and shortness of breath. He reported no common systemic complaints of sarcoidosis. Thoracic and abdominal computed tomography showed multiple hypodense mediastinal lymph nodes with splenic involvement. No other intra-abdominal pathology or peripheral lymphadenopathy was detected. Mediastinoscopy was performed. Diagnosis was made histopathologically. Following the treatment, his complaints regressed. Nodular splenic involvements are uncommon. Although there have been reported thirty-nine cases of sarcoidosis with multiple nodular hepatic and splenic lesions, only three isolated splenic cases have been reported in the literature to date. Despite its rarity, extra-pulmonary sarcoidosis may cause significant morbidity and mortality. Therefore, we discuss this case to draw attention to splenic sarcoidosis without liver involvement and its manifestations, diagnosis, and clinical course.

Özet

Sarkoidoz idiyopatik multisistemik granülomatöz bir hastalıktır. En sık akciğerleri tutar. Biz nadir ve genellikle asemptomatik karaciğer tutulumu olmayan nodüler splenik sarkoidozlu bir olguyu sunduk. Otuz bir yaşındaki erkek hasta; öksürük, balgam ve nefes darlığı şikâyetleriyle kliniğimize başvurdu. Sarkoidozun yaygın sistemik bulgularından hiçbirine rastlanılmadı. Toraks ve batın BT incelenmesinde çok sayıda hipodens mediastinal lenf nodları ve dalak tutulumu vardı. Başka intra-abdominal patoloji veya periferik lenfadenopati saptanmadı. Mediastinoskopi yapıldı. Tanısı histopatolojik olarak doğrulandı. Tıbbi tedaviden sonra şikâyetleri azaldı. Nodüler splenik tutulumu nadirdir. Sarkoidozun; multiple karaciğer ve splenik tutulumu olan otuz dokuz olgu rapor edilmesine rağmen, sadece üç izole nodüler splenik tutulum literatürde bildirilmiştir. Nadirliği nedeniyle ekstrapulmoner sarkoidoz önemli morbidite ve mortaliteye neden olabilir. Bu nedenle, karaciğer tutulumu olmayan nodüler splenik sarkoidozun, belirtileri, tanısı ve klinik seyrine dikkat çekmek amacıyla bu olguyu sunduk.
