Sarcoidosis is a multisystemic disease characterized by chronic non-caseating granulomas of unknown origin. Gastric involve­ment due to sarcoidosis has been reported rarely. Our patient is a 48-year-old man with involvement of both lung and sto­mach. Gastric sarcoidosis should be considered in patients with sar­coidosis who have gastric symptoms, and also while the simi­lar gastric symptoms may also be seen in gastric carcinoma and peptic ulcer patients, gastric sarcoidosis should also be consi­dered in the differential diagnosis of these diseases.
