Bone sarcoidosis.

E Neville, L S Carstairs, D G James

    Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Bone sarcoidosis, a rare manifestation, often affects hands and feet. Radiological bone abnormalities may be preceded or accompanied by soft-tissue swelling, but are frequently an incidental finding in patients with systemic sarcoidosis.

    Area of Science:

    • Rheumatology
    • Orthopedics
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Sarcoidosis is a multisystem inflammatory disease of unknown cause.
    • Bone involvement in sarcoidosis is uncommon but can lead to significant morbidity.
    • Understanding the presentation and characteristics of bone sarcoidosis is crucial for diagnosis and management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the clinical, radiological, and pathological features of bone sarcoidosis.
    • To analyze the relationship between soft-tissue swelling and bone lesions in sarcoidosis.
    • To classify the different types of bone lesions observed in sarcoidosis.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 24 patients with histologically confirmed bone sarcoidosis.
    • Analysis of clinical presentations, radiological findings, and imaging characteristics.

  • Histopathological examination of bone and soft tissue samples.

    • Main Results:

    • Bone sarcoidosis occurred in hands and/or feet in all 24 patients, and elsewhere in 4.
    • Soft-tissue swelling preceded radiological abnormality in 9 patients, accompanied it in 1, followed it in 1, and was absent in 13.
    • Lytic lesions (20 patients), permeative lesions (8 patients), and destructive lesions (3 patients) were identified.
    • Bone involvement was often an incidental finding in patients with sarcoidosis affecting lungs (75%), skin (41%), or eyes (51%).

    Conclusions:

    • Bone sarcoidosis predominantly affects the extremities and can present with lytic, permeative, or destructive lesions.
    • Soft-tissue swelling may or may not be present and its timing relative to bone lesions varies.
    • Bone sarcoidosis is often diagnosed incidentally in the context of other organ involvement.
