Abstract
We thank Dr Reich for his comments. Assuming the association between sarcoidosis and malignancy is not fortuitous - in fact, the total incidence of sarcoidosis, including undiagnosed and asymptomatic cases, is uncertain and estimates of the expected frequency of associations with other diseases are subject to considerable error - assigning causation is puzzling, at best. Nevertheless, Dr Reich’s thoughts deserve some discussion
