Purpose: The purpose of our study was to investigate the less commonly demonstrated CT patterns nodular hepatosplenic saroidosis. Method: We studied five women patients, utilizing contrast enhanced incremental or spiral CT. We also performed a literature search of hepatosplenic sarcoid for the years 1966-1995. Results: We found five nodular hepatic and/or splenic patterns of sarcoidosis. Conclusion: We conclude that increased awareness and recognition of these patterns of nodular hepatic/splenic sarcoidosis on CT will greatly improve detection and diagnosis of abdominal sarcoidosis.
