[Bone, joint, spinal and pelvic-spinal localizations of sarcoidosis (apropos of a case)]

Authors report on one case of particularly flourishing and evolutive sarcoidosis that conditioned numerous manifestations among which stand out lesions interesting one hip and one sacro-iliac articulation and also extensive and destructive bone lesions. This case is for them an opportunity for recalling the major facts related with bone lesions and articular manifestations of sarcoidosis and for calling attention on the spinal and pelvic-spinal involvements. The latter, when signs of bone lysis exist, are evocative of a neoplasm. More often, spondylodiscitis, coexisting sometimes with spindle-like paravertebral pictures, let think of tuberculosis. Confusion would be unavoidable if such facts, in spite of their rareness, were not better known.
