Subcutaneous sarcoidosis is rare, often linked to hilar adenopathy. This case highlights subcutaneous sarcoidosis presenting as dactylitis without bone or tendon issues, confirmed by biopsy.

Area of Science:

Dermatology
Rheumatology
Pathology

Background:

Subcutaneous sarcoidosis is an uncommon manifestation.
Dactylitis, or finger swelling, in sarcoidosis typically involves bone or tenosynovial inflammation.

Observation:

A patient presented with subcutaneous sarcoidosis and dactylitis.
The affected finger and subcutaneous nodules exhibited similar histopathological features.

Findings:

Biopsies revealed a granulomatous infiltrate in both the finger and subcutaneous nodules.
No osseous or tendinous lesions were identified, differentiating this case from typical sarcoid dactylitis.

Implications:

This case expands the understanding of sarcoidosis presentations.

It suggests subcutaneous granulomatous inflammation can manifest as dactylitis, even without osseous or tenosynovial involvement.
