Massive splenomegaly and pancytopenia reuealing sarcoidosis in a child

Sarcoidosis Vasc Diffuse Lung Dis. 2013 Aug 1;30(2):149-52.

Abstract

Herein, we report the first association of massive splenomegaly and pancytopenia as the revealing mode of sarcoidosis in an 8-year-old girl who, despite bone marrow involvement, had a remarkable good outcome following steroid therapy.
