Description

Sarcoidosis, also known as Besnier-Boeck-Schaumann disease or syndrome, is a granulomatous inflammatory disorder of unknown origin that typically affects young individuals. The most commonly affected are the lungs, skin, and eyes. Splenic involvement in sarcoidosis is extremely rare, with reports in the scientific literature limited to isolated cases. We present a clinical case of a 48-year-old woman, operated in the Second Department of Surgery at University Hospital “St. Marina,” with involvement of the spleen and liver due to sarcoidosis.

Abstract (Bulgarian)

Саркоидозата, позната още като болестта или синдрома на Besnier-Boeck-Shaumann, представлява грануломатозно възпалително заболяване с неизвестен произход, което обикновено засяга млади хора. Най- често се засягат: бял дроб, кожа и очи. Локализацията на саркоидозата в слезката е изключително рядка, а описанията в научната литература са единични случаи. Представяме клиничен случай на 48 годишна жена оперирана във Втора Клиника по Хирургия УМБАЛ „Св. Марина“ – гр. Варна, с ангажиране на слезката и черен дроб от саркоидоза.
