Abstract:
Sarcoidosis is seldom revealed by bone lesions since these are almost exclusively seen in the chronic forms of an already diagnosed disease. We report a case of sarcoidosis where sternal lesions were the first to appear. The diagnosis was suggested by radiological findings and confirmed by the presence of other manifestations of sarcoidosis, notably lymph node involvement. Pain and functional impairment were such that we had recourse to corticosteroid therapy.
