Gastric sarcoidosis with noncaseating granuloma is rare. Although corticosteroid produces a dramatic clinical response, it is unknown whether azathioprine show efficacy in prednisolone-dependent cases. Here, we report a case of gastric sarcoidosis in a 25-year-old man with severe epigastlargia. Gastroendoscopy revealed multiple map-like ulcerations. Histological examination showed multiple noncaseating granulomatous lesions in gastric mucosa, which were incompatible with diagnoses of Crohn’s disease or tuberculosis. He was started on prednisolone at 30 mg/d, and his symptoms improved within 7-d. The prednisolone was gradually tapered by 5 mg every 2-wk, but oral azathioprine at 50 mg was added after symptoms recurred at tapered dose of 10 mg. Endoscopy 4-wk later showed healing ulcers, and, lymphocytic infiltration was absent. The efficacy of additional azathioprine in gastric sarcoidosis is not well defined. Here, we report a case of prednisolone-dependent gastric sarcoidosis that improved after additional azathioprine, and also review the literature concerning the treatment, especially for prednisolone-dependent cases.

16岁,我开始戴牙套。16岁,我遇到喜欢的人。没错,我喜欢上我的牙医。他叫沈莫。24岁。他总是特别温柔,戴着医用手套的手抚过我的每颗牙齿,或用小钩子轻轻敲击,慢声细语地问我:“疼吗?”  我就那么躺在治疗椅上睁大眼睛看着他,从下面看上去,只能看到他戴口罩的样子,可我想象得出他线条柔和的下颌、薄而润的唇,以及高挺的鼻尖。再往上是一双明亮的眸子,微微垂着,向我嘴里张望。  口腔医院离我们学校不远,有时
