[Gastric damage in systemic sarcoidosis].

Sarcoidosis is a multisystem disease of unknown etiology, characterized by specific granulomas without caseous necrosis in the affected organs and tissues. Along with respiratory organs, the gastrointestinal tract may be affected by sarcoidosis. Due to the rarity of gastric involvement of sarcoidosis, substantial difficulties arise in verifying the diagnosis, making a differential diagnosis, and examining gastric biopsy specimens. The paper describes in detail pathological changes in the gastric wall tissue specimen in sarcoidosis and comparatively analyzes the findings with the data available in the literature.
