Yenrudi S A 3-year-old girl with simultaneous presentation of hypertensive encephalopathy, subcutaneous
nodules, hepatosplenomegaly and proteinuria was presented. The sarcoidosis was
confirmed by histologic demonstration of non-caseating granulomas in the liver, left kidney, a
cervical lymph node and subcutaneous nodules. 1be proteinuria resolved spontaneously. During
the six-month period of steroid therapy, the renal mass and hepatosplenomegaly were dissolved
but the cervical lymphadenopathy still persisted. The hypertensive state was difficult to
control which required a multiple antihypertensive drug regimen.
