Sarcoidosis is a multisystem disorder characterised by chronic non-caseating granulomatous inflammation involving different parts of the body.The gastrointestinal (GI) tract can be affected in very rare cases either in conjunction with systemic involvement or as a separate entity.The stomach is the most commonly affected site in the GI tract.GI involvement is very rarely associated with symptoms that manifest in 0.1 to 0.9% of patients with systemic disease.Here, we present a case of a middle-aged lady with a history of pulmonary sarcoidosis, who was evaluated for symptoms of dyspepsia and was diagnosed to have gastric sarcoidosis based on endoscopy and histology.
