Elevated ACE levels and atypical liver enzyme patterns should prompt consideration of sarcoidosis in cryptogenic cirrhosis cases, necessitating comprehensive evaluation including liver biopsy and imaging for accurate diagnosis and timely management.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Abstract<\/jats:title>Sarcoidosis is a systemic disease that can affect various organs, leading to a diverse range of clinical manifestations that make diagnosis challenging. Here, we present a case of sarcoidosis in a middle\u2010aged male who presented with cirrhosis. The cause of cirrhosis remained unknown for 4\u2009years until the development of lymphadenopathy and ground\u2010glass opacities on lung imaging. A liver biopsy was performed, which revealed noncaseating granulomatous inflammation, thereby identifying sarcoidosis as the cause of cirrhosis. The patient was treated with oral steroids, which slightly improved his liver function over a short period. Given the diverse presentations of sarcoidosis, it should be considered as a possible differential diagnosis in cases of cryptogenic cirrhosis.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/ccr3.8999","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,6]],"date-time":"2024-06-06T03:59:50Z","timestamp":1717646390000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Cirrhosis due to hepatic sarcoidosis: A rare presentation"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1116-2411","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sumona","family":"Islam","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gastroenterology Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University Dhaka Bangladesh"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Intisar","family":"Kamal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University Dhaka Bangladesh"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Khaled","family":"Murshed","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University Dhaka Bangladesh"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Md Abul Kalam","family":"Azad","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University Dhaka Bangladesh"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_12_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3389\/fimmu.2020.537382"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1378\/chest.10-0413"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3389\/fmed.2019.00232"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1164\/ajrccm.164.10.2104046"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1440-1746.2003.03335.x"},{"issue":"2","key":"e_1_2_12_7_1","first-page":"87","article-title":"Hepatic sarcoidosis","volume":"1","author":"Tadros M","year":"2013","journal-title":"J Clin Transl Hepatol"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/cld.1002"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1055\/s-2002-36517"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159\/000338355"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3389\/fmed.2022.995042"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0041-1345(03)00060-5"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bcr-2021-243492"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1572-0241.2008.02202.x"},{"issue":"1","key":"e_1_2_12_15_1","first-page":"73","article-title":"Course of asymptomatic liver involvement in sarcoidosis: role of therapy in selected cases","volume":"14","author":"Vatti R","year":"1997","journal-title":"Sarcoidosis Vasc Diffuse Lung Dis"}],"container-title":["Clinical Case Reports"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1002\/ccr3.8999","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,11]],"date-time":"2024-07-11T06:43:15Z","timestamp":1720680195000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1002\/ccr3.8999"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2024,6]]},"references-count":14,"journal-issue":{"issue":"6","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2024,6]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1002\/ccr3.8999"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/ccr3.8999","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["2050-0904","2050-0904"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2050-0904","type":"print"},{"value":"2050-0904","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2024,6]]},"assertion":[{"value":"2024-01-01","order":0,"name":"received","label":"Received","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2024-05-13","order":1,"name":"accepted","label":"Accepted","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2024-06-05","order":2,"name":"published","label":"Published","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}}],"article-number":"e8999"}}
