Abstract:
Sarcoidosis of the phalanx is rare and is usually associated with severe systemic disease. We present a patient with recurrent phalangeal sarcoidosis and new evidence of a changing radiological pattern. The clinical presentation and outcome is discussed. High dose steroid treatment and careful long-term follow-up is recommended.
