Gastrointestinal Tract
Most often, the disease affects the stomach, less often the small intestine. Esophageal sarcoidosis is uncommon. Various forms of lesions of the esophagus, including erosive and ulcerative, the development of diverticula, strictures of the esophagus or its thickening, narrowing of the distal part, and achalasia, which can contribute to impaired motility and mechanical obstruction have been described. Symptoms are mild and may present with gastritis, colitis, and duodenitis. Often, this form of sarcoidosis remains undetected due to almost erased symptoms. If you experience similar symptoms, we recommend making an appointment with your doctor. Timely consultation will prevent negative consequences for your health.
