Laparoscopic splenectomy for isolated sarcoidosis of the spleen. Clinical case

Abstract

The clinical case presented in this article illustrates one of the rare manifestations of systemic sarcoidosis — an isolated sarcoidosis lesion of the spleen. In a 36-year-old patient, based on anamnestic information and preoperative instrumental examination, a nonspecific granulomatous lesion of the spleen was suspected. Surgical intervention was performed in the scope of laparoscopic splenectomy with subsequent morphological verification of the diagnosis. According to the pathohistological examination, the diagnosis of sarcoidosis of the spleen was established. The patient was discharged in a satisfactory condition on the 6th day.
