Sarcoidosis (say âsar-coy-doe-sisâ) is a disease that may affect any organ or system in your body. If you have sarcoidosis, you may have no symptoms at all. Only small changes might show up on a chest x-ray, or you may have progressive failure of many organs in your body. The cause of sarcoidosis isn't known. It most commonly affects adults between 20 and 40 years of age, but it may occur at any age.
