Abstrakt: Abdominal lymph-node involvement by sarcoidosis may be more common than is generally recognised (Miller et al, 1981). Recent reports have stressed thefrequency of the detection of retroperitoneal adenopathy in sarcoidosis by computed tomography (CT)(Miller et al, 1981; Meranze et al, 1985), but verylittle attention has been given in the literature to the possibility of similar involvement of the mesenteric lymph nodes. We present a proven case ofsarcoidosis with mesenteric and retroperitoneal manifestations simulating non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
