Abstract

Sarcoidosis is a systemic disorder characterized by development of granulomas within various organs in the body. It commonly affects people of African American and Scandinavian heritage between the ages of 20 and 40. The lungs are involved in 90% of patients. We report a case of sarcoidosis of the spleen and liver with minimal pulmonary involvement.
