Sarcoidosis is a rare condition associated with the formation of granulomas in various organs and tissues. Granulomas are clumps of cells that are involved in inflammation, an immune response to infections characterized by swelling and heat. The granulomas can build up and prevent the normal function of organs, and can cause permanent damage if left untreated.
