ZANATTA-SCATTOLINI, Julieta et al. Peritoneal sarcoidosis that simulates peritoneal carcinomatosis: a case report. Cir. cir. [online]. 2023, vol.91, n.4, pp.567-570.  Epub Oct 30, 2023. ISSN 2444-054X.  https://doi.org/10.24875/ciru.21000715.

Sarcoidosis is a multisystem inflammatory disorder of unknown cause characterized by the formation of pleomorphic, non-caseating granulomas with predominantly pulmonary involvement. Although abdominal sarcoidosis represents 30% of extrapulmonary manifestations, peritoneal involvement is extremely rare. We will describe a rare case of peritoneal sarcoidosis simulating carcinomatosis in a young patient with abdominal pain who underwent laparoscopic examination.
