Abstract
Sarcoidosis is a multisystem disease of unknown etiology characterized by clusters of non-necrotizing granulomas and distortion of surrounding tissue. Although some patients are asymptomatic, sarcoidosis can cause a wide range of signs and symptoms often mimicking autoimmune rheumatologic disorders. Combined sarcoidosis and autoimmune disorders is uncommon as a result of either an University Hospital database analysis and literature review. However, given the high prevalence of autoimmunity in the general population, clinicians should be alerted to correctly diagnose and manage patients suspected to have both sarcoidosis and autoimmune disorders.
