Context:

Sarcoidosis is a multisystem granulomatous disease of unknown origin.
Skeletal muscle involvement in sarcoidosis is common histologically but rarely symptomatic.
Reported symptomatic manifestations include chronic myopathy and palpable nodules.

Purpose:

To review the medical literature on previously reported cases of muscular sarcoidosis.
To define the natural history and corticosteroid responsiveness of this rare syndrome.

Summary:

Non-caseating granulomas, characteristic of sarcoidosis, are found in 50-80% of sarcoidosis cases.
Symptomatic muscular sarcoidosis presents as chronic progressive myopathy with weakness and wasting or palpable nodular lesions.
The rarity of symptomatic muscular sarcoidosis has limited understanding of its progression and treatment efficacy.

Impact:

This review aims to consolidate existing knowledge on muscular sarcoidosis.
Understanding the natural history and treatment response is crucial for managing patients with this rare condition.
Further research is needed to establish clear diagnostic and therapeutic guidelines for muscular sarcoidosis.
