General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,

I understand your concern.

Lesions/marks on the liver and lungs, pericarditis, abdominal pain could be due to sarcoidosis but infectious disease should be ruled out. Other tumors (primary and secondary) should be also considered.

Please provide the tests reports your brother in law has done so far in order to analyze the findings myself.

Next, apart abdominal pain, I need to know if he is also having:
- fever?
- difficulty in breathing?
- coughing?
- changes in bowel movement?
- and explain all the symptoms he has.

This is necessary to understand all his current health problems.

All the best.
