Sarcoidosis is a multisystemic disease which features non-necrotizing granulomas in lungs and other organs. Hepatic involvement in sarcoidosis varies between a mild asymptomatic disease and a progressive inflammatory granulomatous disease with or without cirrhosis. In this case presentation, we present a case of hepatic sarcoidosis complicated by clinically significant portal hypertension including splenomegaly and gastroesophageal varices successfully treated with immunosuppression to achieve portal hypertension reversal.
