It presents either as a systemic disease or as an isolated finding. Diagnosis is established with biopsy of a lesion. It is important to distinguish between sarcoidosis and a sarcoid-like reaction, which can be caused by Crohn's disease, foreign body reaction, fungal infection, tuberculosis, or malignancy. We report a 60-year-old woman with both gastric and pulmonary sarcoidosis.

Eosinophilic gastroenteritis is generally classified according to the involved layer of the gastrointestinal tract. Serosal type is the rarest form of eosinophilic gastroenteritis that is characteristically accompanied with eosinophilic ascites and responds well to steroid treatment. We have experienced a typical case of serosal type eosinophilic gastroenteritis in a women who complained of abdominal pain. She had peripheral eosinophilia, gastric and small bowel wall thickening with eosionophilic ascites. Her symptom relieved rapidly after starting corticosteroid treatment and she had long been in clinical remission after discontinuation of corticosteroid administration.
