Respiratory physicians therefore often manage patients, but any organ may be involved, with noncaseating granulomas the characteristic feature.

It is a very common symptom in acute pulmonary sarcoidosis from the granulomatous involvement of the airways and in chronic sarcoidosis from airway distortion from fibrosis. Chest pain is also an underappreciated symptom of pulmonary sarcoidosis.
