Gastric sarcoidosis diagnosed with endoscopic ultrasound
We report the case of a 46-year-old African American female who experienced chronic epigastric abdominal pain, recurrent nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea for 15 years. Despite extensive investigations, including multiple biopsies, she was misdiagnosed with cyclic vomiting syndrome. Subsequently, an endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) revealed prominent lymph nodes and gastric granulomas, leading to a diagnosis of GS. This case underscores the importance of consi dering sarcoidosis in patients with refractory abdominal symptoms and highlights the utility of EUS in diagnosing this rare condition.
