Sarcoidosis is a multisystemic granulomatous disease affecting various organs. This review details its major extra-thoracic manifestations, including clinical presentation, diagnosis, and treatment.

Area of Science:

  • Immunology
  • Pathology
  • Internal Medicine

Context:

  • Sarcoidosis is a multisystemic granulomatous disease of unknown etiology.
  • It is characterized by non-caseating epithelioid cell granulomas in affected organs.
  • Sarcoidosis can affect virtually any organ system, presenting diverse clinical manifestations.

Purpose:

  • To review the major extra-thoracic manifestations of sarcoidosis.
  • To discuss clinical presentation, diagnosis, treatment, follow-up, and prognosis of extrathoracic sarcoidosis.

Summary:

  • Sarcoidosis frequently involves organs outside the thorax, including the liver, spleen, eyes, lymph nodes, skin, and nervous system.
  • Extrathoracic sarcoidosis can occur asymptomatically and impacts patient prognosis and treatment strategies.
