Prognosis and Patient Counseling. Generally, a good prognosis. Less than 5% of patients die of sarcoidosis, with neurosarcoidosis and cardiac sarcoidosis being the main causes of death. [clinicaladvisor.com]

TREATMENT AND PROGNOSIS The prognosis of sarcoidosis is good in most patients. The majority of patients with acute disease recover completely. Those patients who do have residual damage of affected organs usually have only minimal organ dysfunction. [meddean.luc.edu]

ABSTRACT Sarcoidosis is a multisystemic granulomatous disease of unknown etiology that is based on the presence of non-caseating granulomas. Sarcoidosis commonly involves the lungs, skin, and eyes. [ekjm.org]

Even though it was first described by Sir Jonathan Hutchinson 140 years ago, to date the etiology is unclear [1]. It can involve any organ, with pulmonary involvement being the most common. [hindawi.com]
