Introduction: Sarcoidosis is a granulomatous inflammatory disorder characterized by the presence of non-caseating granulomas in affected tissues, such as lungs and lymph nodes. The precise etiology of sarcoidosis is not known yet. There are some reports on the association of sarcoidosis and other disorders that may similarly have an immunological basis, such as inflammatory bowel disease. In this study, we introduce a patient with ulcerative colitis (UC), whose disease was in remission for about 20 years, before presentation of her sarcoidosis. Conclusions: Patients with UC who possess HLA-A*01 phenotype may possibly be more susceptible to developing sarcoidosis.
