Bone involvement in sarcoidosis is not uncommon but may be overlooked as a cause of symptoms. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is emerging as a sensitive diagnostic tool for osseous sarcoid.

متن کاملSarcoidosis Presenting as a Proximal Phalangeal Bony Swelling-a Case and Review of the Literature.
We report a case of a 27-year-old man who presented with a progressive painful swelling at the base of his left index finger, with radiographs and a computed tomography scan revealing a lytic lesion of the proximal phalanx. Following further investigation, the patient underwent a bone biopsy that revealed a florid noncaseating granulomatous chronic inflammatory infiltrate, compatible with sarco...
متن کاملInterferon-induced sarcoidosis with osseous involvement in a patient with melanoma.
To the Editor: Interferons are widely used in the treatment of both malignant and nonmalignant diseases. One rare complication, attributable to the immunomodulatory effect of interferon (IFN) treatment is the triggering or exacerbation of sarcoidosis [1]. We present the scintigraphic and radiographic imaging findings of a patient that developed sarcoidosis with bone involvement mimicking metast...
