Summary: a 53‐year‐old woman with steroid‐treated clinical sarcoidosis was subjected to hysterectomy and bilateral adnexectomy for irregular vaginal bleeding related to postmenopausal genital atrophy. Histological examination revealed many sarcoid granulomas located subserosally in the uterus, parametrium, perisalpinx and ovaries. The differential diagnosis is discussed.
