Summary

This study details an unusual case of nodular sarcoidosis affecting both hands, with lesions extending into the pulp spaces of all digits. Sarcoidosis diagnosis is crucial even with atypical clinical presentations.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Rheumatology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Sarcoidosis is a multisystem inflammatory disease characterized by non-caseating granulomas.
  • Cutaneous manifestations of sarcoidosis are diverse, but specific patterns can be rare.

Observation:

  • A unique case of nodular sarcoidosis involving both hands is presented.
  • The extensive involvement of all digits, including the pulp spaces, represents a previously unreported pattern.

Findings:

  • Histopathological examination confirmed nodular sarcoidosis with granulomatous inflammation.
  • The clinical presentation was atypical, challenging initial diagnostic considerations.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of considering sarcoidosis in the differential diagnosis of hand lesions, even with uncharacteristic manifestations.
