Ovarian and peritoneal sarcoidosis is a very rare condition, with an atypical clinical presentation close to that of ovarian cancer. An erroneous diagnosis could induce a definitive castration. A 38-year-old woman was admitted because of ascites and weight loss. A computerized tomography scan revealed multiple soft tissue nodules in the pelvis, on the ovaries as well as peritoneal deposits. Histological examination after laparoscopic biopsy was indicative of sarcoidosis. Corticosteroids were given to the patient and the symptoms quickly subsided. This case with its clinical presentation is discussed in comparison with previously reported cases.
