Abstract
In contrast with hepatic involvement, which is frequent and well-known, sarcoidosis affecting the gastro-intestinal tract is rare and poorly known. This form of the disease is frequently clinically silent and is thus probably under-reported. The stomach is the site most frequently affected. Gastric sarcoidosis is seen in some 10% of patients with systemic sarcoidosis and is symptomatic in less than 1% of cases. It is important to diagnose these forms since they may be associated with a certain degree of morbidity.
