Is sarcoidosis a type of cancer?

Sarcoidosis: Sarcoidosis is not considered a cancer. It is a disease of unknown etiology. It can be described as a non-casesating granulomatous disease. It is difficult to diagnose.

The absolute diagnosis is made by biopsy of a nodule, possibly in the lung region. Etc....

No: Sarcoidosis is a connective tissue disorder. It can cause a largevariety of symptoms, from breathing difficulties to inflammation in the eye.
