# Association of Cardiac Sarcoidosis and Ulcerative Colitis: A Case Report and a Brief Review of the Literature

## TL;DR

This paper reports a rare case where cardiac sarcoidosis and ulcerative colitis occurred together, suggesting they might share similar immune-related causes.

## Contribution

The novelty lies in documenting a rare co-occurrence of cardiac sarcoidosis and ulcerative colitis, suggesting shared immune pathways.

## Key findings

- A rare case of coexisting cardiac sarcoidosis and ulcerative colitis is reported.
- The paper suggests that these two conditions may share common immune-mediated pathogenetic pathways.
- Clinicians should be alert to cardiac sarcoidosis in patients with immune-related diseases.

## Abstract

•CS is a rare inflammatory disease with immune-mediated pathogenesis.•The authors report a rare case of coexistence of CS and ulcerative colitis.•CS and ulcerative colitis may share common pathogenetic pathways.•A high level of suspicion for CS should be kept in patients with immune diseases.

CS is a rare inflammatory disease with immune-mediated pathogenesis.

The authors report a rare case of coexistence of CS and ulcerative colitis.

CS and ulcerative colitis may share common pathogenetic pathways.

A high level of suspicion for CS should be kept in patients with immune diseases.
