  • Granulomas can affect virtually any organ, with common sites including lymph nodes, lungs, skin, liver, and eyes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide an updated review of sarcoidosis.
  • To discuss the clinical manifestations, diagnostic evaluation, and treatment strategies for sarcoidosis.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and treatment of sarcoidosis.
  • Synthesis of current knowledge on the idiopathic disease.

Main Results:

  • Sarcoidosis presents with diverse clinical manifestations depending on organ involvement.

  • Diagnosis relies on clinical, radiological, and pathological findings.
  • Treatment is challenging due to the variable course and potential for organ damage.

    • Conclusions:

    • Sarcoidosis requires a comprehensive approach for diagnosis and management.
    • Understanding the variable clinical course is crucial for effective treatment planning.
    • Further research is needed to elucidate the idiopathic nature and optimize therapeutic interventions.
