Etymology:
Meaning:
Sarcoid is a condition characterized by the formation of small, inflammatory lesions called granulomas in various organs, especially the lungs.
Origin:
The term "sarcoid" was first used by British dermatologist Sir Jonathan Hutchinson in 1877 to describe a rare skin condition characterized by reddish-brown or bluish-red bumps. The term was later expanded to include similar lesions found in other organs, such as the lungs, lymph nodes, and liver.
The exact cause of sarcoidosis is unknown, but it is thought to be an autoimmune disorder in which the body's immune system mistakenly attacks its own tissues. It can occur in people of all ages and races, but it is most common in young and middle-aged adults of African descent.
