ABSTRACT
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. The 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.
