Sarcoidosis is an idiopathic granulomatous disease. It usually affects the lung but may involve any organ. The diagnosis may be problematic because known causes of granulomatous inflammation must be excluded. Sarcoidosis may remit spontaneously or remain stable. Therefore, therapy is not mandated for the disease. This report reviews the clinical presentation, diagnostic approach, and treatment of sarcoidosis.
结节病是一种特发性肉芽肿性疾病。它通常累及肺部,但也可能累及任何器官。由于必须排除肉芽肿性炎症的已知病因,因此诊断可能存在问题。结节病可能会自发缓解或保持稳定。因此,对于该疾病不强制进行治疗。本报告回顾了结节病的临床表现、诊断方法和治疗。
