Sarcoidosis is an uncommon disorder characterized by a multi-systemic granulomatous disease of undetermined etiology and pathogenesis. The diagnosis is established by the presence of a compatible clinical illness and by histologic demonstration of noncaseating epithelioid cell granulomas in the affected organs. Accurate diagnosis requires a thorough evaluation to exclude infectious and neoplastic diseases that can mimic sarcoidosis. Although all organs and systems can be affected, the lungs and intrathoracic lymph glands are the most common sites of involvement. We describe an unusual case of extrapulmonary sarcoidosis presenting as obstructive jaundice.
