[Isolated sarcoidosis of the stomach (author's transl)].

: The authors report a case of isolated sarcolidosis of the stomach. They emphasise the rareness of isolated involvement of this organ. The clinical picture and further investigations suggested carcinoma of the stomach and the patient underwent subtotal gastrectomy. Histological examination of the operative specimen gave the diagnosis of isolated sarcoidosis of the stomach. Corticotherapy is the only treatment of this disease. Operation in the present case was justified and necessary in view of the isolated nature of the lesion and the possibility of surgical operation.
