“…Parotid gland sarcoidosis has been reported to occur in approximately 5% of patients with sarcoidosis [3,7]. On the other hand, there were only a few case reports in uterine sarcoidosis [4][5][6]. Therefore, the present case exhibited a very rare distribution of lesions as sarcoidosis.…”

Background Sarcoidosis is a systemic disease that can affect multiple organs. While pulmonary sarcoidosis is most commonly observed, renal sarcoidosis occurs less frequently. We herein report a case of sarcoidosis with an exceptionally rare distribution including renal lesions. Case presentation A 51-year-old Japanese female was referred because of bilateral parotid swelling and renal dysfunction. Computed tomography scan showed the swelling of bilateral kidneys, parotid glands, and uterus. Ga scintigraphy also showed remarkable accumulation in these organs. Renal biopsy and cytological evaluations of parotid gland and uterus were performed and she was diagnosed as sarcoidosis of these organs. Treatment was initiated with prednisolone 40 mg/day and then renal dysfunction subsequently improved. In addition, the swelling of parotid glands and uterus improved and Ga accumulation in each organ had disappeared. Conclusion This is a first case of renal sarcoidosis complicated by parotid glands and uterus lesions. Pathological findings and the reactivity observed in Ga scintigraphy indicated the presence of lesions in these organs.

“…only 0.7% cases showed renal sarcoidosis [3]. In addition, the prevalence of parotid gland sarcoidosis was 3.9% [3], and only a few cases have been reported in uterine sarcoidosis [4][5][6]. Herein, we report a first case of sarcoidosis in kidneys, parotid glands and uterus.…”
