Abstract

A case of bladder sarcoidosis in a woman with known systemic involvement of this disease is reported. The lesion improved and ureteral obstruction was relieved after transurethral resection and systemic corticosteroid treatment. Sarcoidosis and malacoplakia are believed to represent distinct disease processes in the bladder.
