ABSTRACT
Although sarcoidosis usually affects the respiratory tract, this granuloma-
tous disease can manifest itself in many other sites including those of the
genitourinary, breast, and hematologic organs. A recent review suggests
that although 40% of patients present with intrathoracic manifestations, careful evaluation of other body sites at initial evaluation and during clinical
follow-up will usually reveal other organ involvement as well (1). Little data
is available regarding the true prevalence of sarcoidosis in the genitourinary,
breast, or hematologic organs. This chapter is devoted to better exploration
of the prevalence, clinical presentation, and treatment of these organs that
are less commonly involved with the epithelioid granulomatous process of
sarcoidosis.
