| ALT_DEFINITION |
An inflammatory disease marked by the formation of granulomas (small nodules of immune cells) in the lungs, lymph nodes, and other organs. Sarcoidosis may be acute and go away by itself, or it may be chronic and progressive. An inflammatory disorder characterized by the formation of non-necrotizing granulomas often associated with multi-nucleated giant cells within affected organs. Virtually all organs may be affected; however, it often affects the lungs, lymph nodes, liver, synovium, skin, heart, and uveal tract. |
