Not if sarcoidosis: I need your exact terms used for diagnosis,since your statement though implying, sarcoidosis,common in lungs and skin,could have beem sarcoidal-like granulomas, a nonspecific term that could mean a type of reaction to infection, injection of a drug,autoimmune,Chemicals like Beryllium or even certain types of Cancers like Hodgkin,granulomatous mycosis fungoides and others. Need other test if not.
