What is Sarcoidosis?
Sarcoidosis is a condition in which inflammation that produces microscoptic lumps of cells (called granulomas) in various organs in your body. These tiny granulomas can grow and clump together, which makes many large and small groups of lumps. If many granulomas form in an organ, they can affect how the organ works.

Sarcoidosis can occur in almost any part of your body, although it usually affects some organs more than others. It usually starts in one of two places—in the lungs or the lymph nodes, especially the lymph nodes in your chest cavity. Sarcoidosis also often affects your skin, eyes, and liver, and can also affect your spleen, brain, nerves, and heart.
You should ask the Doctor that.
