ABSTRACT
|
Introduction:
Necrotizing sarcoid granulomatosis (NSG) is a rare variant of sarcoidosis with pathologic features of necrosis and vasculitis that overlap with rheumatologic and infectious diseases. Hypercalcemia is occasionally the presenting feature of classical sarcoidosis occurring in 10–20% of patients, most commonly in association with pulmonary involvement. However hypercalcemia in NSG is less common and has not been previously described when NSG primarily affects the liver. Keywords: 1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D, Hepatic granuloma, Hypercalcemia, Necrotizing sarcoid granuloma |
