Sarcoidosis can affect bones, particularly the small bones of the hands and feet. While osseous sarcoidosis is easily diagnosed, current therapies like corticosteroids offer limited long-term benefits.

Area of Science:

  • Rheumatology and Immunology
  • Bone Diseases
  • Granulomatous Disorders

Background:

  • Sarcoidosis is a multisystem inflammatory disease characterized by non-caseating granulomas.
  • While pulmonary involvement is most common, sarcoidosis can affect virtually any organ, including bone.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To summarize the clinical presentation and therapeutic challenges of osseous sarcoidosis.
  • To highlight the predilection for small bones in skeletal sarcoidosis.

Main Methods:

  • Review of clinical manifestations of osseous sarcoidosis.
  • Analysis of diagnostic approaches and treatment outcomes.

Main Results:

  • Osseous sarcoidosis presents with heterogeneous clinical signs, often affecting small bones of the hands and feet.

  • Diagnosis of bone involvement is generally straightforward.
  • Therapeutic interventions, including corticosteroids and antimalarials, provide symptomatic relief but do not alter disease progression.

    • Conclusions:

    • Osseous sarcoidosis, though diagnosable, presents significant therapeutic limitations.
    • Current treatments primarily manage symptoms like pain and swelling without impacting the underlying disease course.
