Sarcoidosis rarely involves the female genital tract. A report is presented of 2 cases of sarcoidosis of the uterus. In the first, the diagnosis was made by biopsy of the portio vaginalis uteri which was amputated during the Manchester operation for genital prolapse. In the second case the diagnosis was made by endometrial curettage for postmenopausal vaginal bleeding. Neither of the women exhibited signs of generalized sarcoidosis.
