Nodular hepatic and splenic sarcoidosis in a patient with a normal chest radiograph

Abstract

Most patients with sarcoidosis usually have an abnormal chest radiograph, while nodular lesions of both the liver and the spleen is an unusual manifestation of sarcoidosis.We report a patient with multiple nodular hepatic and splenic hypodense lesions with an unremarkable chest x-ray, and biopsy of the liver revealed sarcoidosis.
