ABSTRACT
Sarcoidosis, a commonplace inflammatory disease character-
ized by the formation of non-caseating granulomas, occurs
worldwide; no race, sex or age is out of its reach. Its
chameleon-like multisystem presentation involving more
than one organ in the body lets it easily cross the artificial
boundaries of medical specialties. The innovative and indivi-
dual approaches by international scientists of different dis-
ciplines have contributed to an engrossing historical account
of the disease (Scadding 1967; Scadding and Mitchell 1985).
