Description

Sarcoidosis is a multisystem disorder of unknown etiology that is characterized by deposition of granulomas in various organs. Although lungs and lymph nodes are most commonly involved in sarcoidosis, it can affect other organ systems as well. Even though uncommon, pulmonologists should be cognizant of clinical manifestations of extrapulmonary sarcoidosis. Although unusual, extrapulmonary organ involvement has a considerable impact on symptom burden, quality of life, and prognosis for patients.
