Undiagnosed sarcoidosis presenting as acute pancreatitis: a rare presentation of a known disease.

A 43-year-old African American man presented with right upper quadrant pain and elevated blood pressure. Investigations revealed elevated lipase, hypercalcaemia and elevated creatinine. CT abdomen with contrast revealed extensive intraabdominal lymphadenopathy with an initial suspicion for a lymphoproliferative malignancy. Patient was managed for acute pancreatitis, with further workup of hypercalcaemia revealing an elevated ACE level. Inguinal lymph node biopsy confirmed a non-caseating granuloma leading to the diagnosis of sarcoidosis.
