A histologically proven case of progressive liver sarcoidosis with variceal rupture

Figure 2 First histological examination of the liver, and the image of enhanced computed tomogram. A: The first liver biopsy showed non-caseating granulomas in the liver without fibrosis development. Aggregates of epithelioid histiocytes and Langhans-type giant cells were observed surrounded by lymphocytes. The original magnifications are × 40 and × 200, respectively; B: Enhanced computed tomogram showing multiple low-attenuation areas up to 10 mm in diameter, indicating multiple granulomas in the liver (white arrows). There was no splenomegaly at this time.
