Summary

Sarcoidosis can cause nail dystrophy and asymptomatic bone cysts in the terminal phalanges. Early radiological examination is recommended for patients with sarcoidosis and nail changes.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Rheumatology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Sarcoidosis is a multisystem inflammatory disease.
  • Nail dystrophy can be a rare manifestation of sarcoidosis.
  • Bone involvement in sarcoidosis often affects the phalanges.

Observation:

  • This study details five patients experiencing nail dystrophy concurrent with sarcoidosis.
  • All observed patients presented with bone cysts in the terminal phalanges.
  • The disease course in these patients was chronic.

Findings:

  • A strong association was found between sarcoidosis, nail dystrophy, and underlying bone cysts.
  • Bone cysts associated with sarcoidosis and nail dystrophy are frequently asymptomatic.
  • Radiological examination is crucial for detecting these bone cysts.

Implications:

  • Highlights the importance of considering bone cysts in sarcoidosis patients with nail changes.
  • Suggests routine radiological assessment for early diagnosis and management of bone involvement.
  • Underscores the need for a multidisciplinary approach in managing complex sarcoidosis cases.
