Abstract
Sarcoidosis is a granulomatous disease of unknown origin with a variab le clinical presentation. Although involvement of every organ has been described, the pulmonary system is most frecuently involved. Isolated extrapulmonary disease is rare. Hepatic manifestations include granul omatous hepatitis and hiliar lymphadenopathy. We describe a case of sa rcoidosis initially presenting as extrahepatic jaundice.
