[Systemic manifestations of sarcoidosis].

The paper describes the diversity of manifestations of sarcoidosis, which determines the extent of this process. The present study revealed skin and joint lesions in most cases and identified the involvement of peripheral lymph nodes, eyes, heart, thyroid, kidney, spleen, liver, and pancreas. Sarcoidosis of the pleura, pericardium, subcutaneous fat, and ovaries was most common. The systemic manifestations of sarcoidosis were found only in half of the examinees, which is most likely to suggest the complexity of diagnosis, the poor awareness of the most accessible and most used study methods, and the frequency of spontaneous remissions.
