摘要：

Epithelioid cell granulomas identical to those of systemic sarcoidosis are occasionally observed within malignant neoplasms, particularly in the lymphatics draining a primary tumor. These histologic changes have been termed sarcoid reactions and are easily confused with systemic sarcoidosis. This report describes an extremely rare case of gastric cancer accompanied by sarcoid reactions in the regional lymph nodes and liver parenchyma near a tumor metastasis. A 63-year-old woman with advanced gastric cancer was treated by subtotal gastrectomy with dissection of the regional lymph nodes and local excision of the liver tissue involved by metastasis. Microscopic examination of the resected lymph nodes and liver disclosed the presence of sarcoid-like granulomas. The absence of any clinical manifestations and the negative results of the Kveim test, chest radiograph, and laboratory tests, including that for the serum angiotensin converting enzyme excluded the possibility of systemic sarcoidosis. The presence of a sarcoid reaction in the liver parenchyma adjacent to a metastasis has never been reported previously.
