- ABSTRACT: Sarcoidosis is a systemic disease characterized by noncaseating granulomatous inflammation. Gastrointestinal involvement in sarcoidosis is a very rare occurrence, with the colon being affected in few patients. We present a case of sarcoidosis presenting as multiple colonic polyps found on routine colorectal cancer screening colonoscopy. Histopathology of the polyps showed noncaseating granulomas.
