We reviewed 70 cases of sarcoidosis with positive findings by conjunctival biopsy. These cases had been suspected for sarcoidosis in various departments of 4 institutions. Cases were diagnosed with sarcoidosis when con-junctival biopsy showed noncaseous necrotic epitheloid granulomas. Uveitis was present in 57 cases (81%). Conjunc-tival biopsy was positive bilaterally in 24 cases (34%) and unilaterally in 46 cases (66%). Conjunctival biopsy was thus more sensitive when performed bilaterally than unilaterally. The findings show that bilateral conjunctival biopsy is a useful diagnostic means when systemic sarcoidosis is suspected regardless of the presence or absence of uveitis.
