Abstract:
Isolated extrapulmonary involvement in sarcoidosis is uncommon and reported in 5-9% of systemic sarcoidosis, this constitutes a clinical challenge due to its extensive differential diagnosis. Extrapulmonary sarcoidosis affecting more than three organs is rarely reported and there are scarce literature data published on diagnosis, clinical course and management in those cases. We hereby discuss a case of a 41-year-old female with systemic non-pulmonary sarcoidosis affecting lacrimal gland, peripheral lymph nodes, parotid gland and the liver.

The first classification is based on the development of the disease, and it includes the following categories:
Secondary Lymphoid Organs
The spleen is a vital organ in the lymphatic system, nestled in the upper left side of the abdomen. It is composed of two primary regions: the red pulp and the white pulp, each having distinct functions. The red pulp performs a significant role in blood filtration. It efficiently purges the blood of old or damaged red blood cells and...
