Am J Obstet Gynecol. 1990 May;162(5):1284-5. doi: 10.1016/0002-9378(90)90038-9.

Abstract

A case of ovarian and systemic sarcoidosis with mucinous cystadenoma coexisting in the same ovary is described. This association has not been previously reported. The differentiation of systemic sarcoidosis from metastatic spread of ovarian cancer and from sarcoid-like reactions in regional lymph nodes of tumors is discussed.
