Abstract:
Oral and maxillofacial sarcoidosis is rare. Although the systemic effects and course of the disease are well described, the etiology of sarcoidosis remains unknown. Diagnosis involves histologic, radiographic, and clinical correlation, and laboratory tests can be used to monitor disease activity. Treatment is directed at suppression of the immune system, and communication among members of the healthcare team is important for successful therapy.
