sarcoidosis
(redirected from Besnier Boeck disease)

    Also found in: Medical, Wikipedia 0.03 sec.

sarcoidosis

Chronic disease of unknown cause involving enlargement of the lymph nodes and the formation of small fleshy nodules in the lungs. It may also affect the eyes, and skin, and (rarely) other tissue. Many cases resolve spontaneously or may be successfully treated using corticosteroids.

It is thought that the composer Beethoven may have suffered from sarcoidosis rather than from syphilis, as previously believed.
