8.4 Sarcoidosis

In sarcoidosis (Figs. 8.8, 8.9) granulomas consisting of epithelioid cells and usually multinucleated giant cells closely resembling tuberculous granulomas occupy areas of the endometrial stroma. In contrast to tuberculosis, there is no caseation, and glandular involvement or reactive epithelial proliferation is very rare. The endometria involved are often diffusely hyperplastic (Fig. 8.8), since they do not shed with menstruation.
