Sarcoidosis is a disease of unkown cause that leads to inflammation. This disease affects your body’s organs. These cells release chemicals that recruit other cells to isolate and destroy the harmful substance. Inflammation occurs during this process. Once the harmful substance is gone, the cells and the …show more content…
Sarcoidosis affects people of all ages and races. The disease is extremely rare in the children and the elderly. However, its more common among African-American and Northern Europeans said National Institutes Of Health. If somewhat more common in women than in men. The disease usually develops between the ages of 20 and 50. People who have a family history of sarcoidosis also are at higher risk for the disease. If you experience this diagnosis your doctor will diagnose sarcoidosis based on your medical history, a physical exam, and test results. He or She will look for granulomas in your organs. Your doctor also will try to rule out other possible causes of your symptoms. Not everyone who has sarcoidosis needs treatment. Sometimes the disease goes away on its own. Research is also being conducted to find evidence that would support theories that sarcoidosis is cause by genetic factors, immune system defects, or viral/bacterial infections. People who suspected of having sarcoidosis should be immediately tested for the effects of the disease. Since intraperitoneal sarcoidosis is extremely rare, the differential diagnosis is unlikely to include this condition in the context of presumptive ovarian cancer. However, in patients with a history of sarcoidosis, physicians should maintain a high index of suspicion to effectuate early detection and provide appropriate
