“…Most of these lesions are usually asymptomatic, with only 5–30% presenting with atypical clinical signs and symptoms including nausea, vomiting, jaundice, abdominal pain and hepatosplenomegaly [2, 4]. A small portion of hepatic sarcoidosis can be severe and rapidly progressive, with the occurrence of complications such as cirrhosis, portal hypertension, chronic cholestasis and Budd-Chiari syndrome [2, 6]. The first report of portal hypertension associated with sarcoidosis was published in 1949 by Mino et al [8], followed by Katskin in 1950 [9].…”

“…Chronic intrahepatic sarcoidosis may resemble primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) and primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), and either of these two diseases can coexist with sarcoidosis [1, 6]. Sarcoidosis is usually differentiated from PBC by normal IgM levels and the absence of elevated anti-mitochondrial antibody, which is positive in nearly 90% of patients with PBC.…”

“…Additional cases, however, have found hepatic histologic distinction alone to be unfeasible. [47][48][49][50][51] The diagnosis of systemic sarcoidosis with hepatic inflammation as opposed to PBC therefore usually relies on finding evidence of extrahepatic granulomatous activity. However, as previously mentioned, extrahepatic immune activity such as pulmonary granuloma formation has been well documented in PBC and is summarized in Table 1.…”

“…En cuanto a su localización hepática, en más de un 75% de pacientes con sarcoidosis es posible objetivar a través de estudios histopatológicos la presencia de granulomas de morfología típica (2,3); sin embargo, las alteraciones funcionales que se reflejan en la bioquímica hepática y la aparición de síndromes clínicos tales como la colestasis intrahepática, hipertensión portal o cirrosis son mucho menos frecuentes (4)(5)(6). A continuación, presentamos un caso en quién la sarcoidosis se manifestó predominantemente por un cuadro de colestasis de varios años de evolución, sin otra sintomatología acompañante.…”
