Özet

Background: Sarcoidosis is a multisystemic disease of unknown etiology. The presentation and frequency of different organ involvement can vary according to race, geographical location and gender. Because of the multiorgan involvement and its mimicking nature, the diagnosis is usually a challenge, even to specialists. Therefore, knowledge of the epidemiologic features of the disease is important.
