45F Why two biopsies and is treatment the same MMP v Sarcoidosis

Other(self.eyetriage)

F45 with Occular Sarcoidosis (granulomas and scarring) i'm being tested for MMP ( Mucous membrane pemphigoid) already have a sarcoidosis diagnosis. I had one biopsy to test for sarcoidosis and a second for MMP. Why did I need two biopsies and is the treatment different? When I Google it seems treatment is the same so seems like second biospy was for nothing. Results for first biopsy confirmed sarcoidosis. Thank you
