Sarcoidosis, a chronic granulomatous disease, can affect nails, causing dystrophy. This case highlights sarcoid nail changes without bone involvement, confirmed via biopsy.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Rheumatology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Sarcoidosis is a multisystem granulomatous disease of unknown etiology.
  • Nail involvement in sarcoidosis is uncommon and typically linked to bone lesions.

Observation:

  • A patient presented with sarcoid nail dystrophy.
  • Diagnosis was confirmed through a proximal nail fold biopsy.

Findings:

  • The nail biopsy revealed granulomatous inflammation consistent with sarcoidosis.
  • Radiological examination showed no evidence of underlying bone dystrophy in this patient.

Implications:

  • This case expands the understanding of sarcoidosis presentations.
  • It suggests nail biopsy is valuable for diagnosing sarcoidosis, even without bone involvement.
