ABSTRACT
Sarcoidosis is rarely diagnosed in childhood, but the
manifestations are so disparate that the possibility of the
diagnosis should at least be considered in many common and
rare clinical scenarios. Most studies of the pathophysiology
and treatment are in adults, and these are discussed else-
where in this volume. This chapter will focus only on
specifically pediatric aspects of pathophysiology, epidemiol-
ogy in children, the clinical manifestations over the span of
childhood, prognosis, and such data as exist on the treatment
of children.
