Abstract

The majority of cases of dyspepsia are functional, with a very rare cause of organic dyspepsia being gastric sarcoidosis. Although gastric sarcoidosis is the most common gastrointestinal manifestation of sarcoidosis, it is asymptomatic in >99% of cases. This is a case of a 48-year-old with known pulmonary sarcoidosis who was diagnosed with gastric sarcoidosis after presenting with dyspepsia.

Keywords: dyspepsia; gastric sarcoidosis; organic dyspepsia; sarcoidosis.
