“…33 Dryness and diffuse swelling of oral mucosal tissues can be the first symptom of sarcoidosis. 34 Both sarcoidosis and Sjögren syndrome have an insidious onset, and patients who do not present with other manifestations of sarcoidosis may appear to have isolated Sjögren syndrome. 35 However, a detailed medical history, salivary gland biopsy, and serologies can help distinguish between the two conditions.…”

Sarcoidosis is a systemic, clinically heterogeneous disease characterized by the development of granulomas. Any organ system can be involved, and patients may present with any number of rheumatologic symptoms. There are no U.S. Food and Drug Administration–approved therapies for the treatment of sarcoidosis. Diagnosing sarcoidosis becomes challenging, particularly when its complications cause patients’ symptoms to mimic other conditions, including polymyositis, Sjögren syndrome, or vasculitis. This review presents an overview of the etiology of and biomarkers associated with sarcoidosis. We then provide a detailed description of the rheumatologic manifestations of sarcoidosis and present a treatment algorithm based on current clinical evidence for patients with sarcoid arthritis. The discussion will focus on characteristic findings in patients with sarcoid arthritis, osseous involvement in sarcoidosis, and sarcoid myopathy. Arthritic conditions that sometimes coexist with sarcoidosis are described as well. We present two cases of sarcoidosis with rheumatologic manifestations. Our intent is to encourage a multidisciplinary, translational approach to meet the challenges and difficulties in understanding and treating sarcoidosis.

“…El Síndrome de Löfgren presenta diferencias analíticas respecto a las formas crónicas de sarcoidosis. Así, la enzima conversora de angiotensina A (ECA), ampliamente utilizada en en el diagnóstico, está disminuida o normal en este síndrome e incrementada en las sarcoidosis de larga evolución 1,8 . También en algunos estudios se ha observado elevación de la proteína C reactiva (PCR), llevando a la especulación sobre un posible efecto protector de la PCR en las formas benignas de sarcoidosis como el síndrome de Löfgren 2 .…”

Recientemente en el síndrome de Löfgren se ha descrito la asociación con el ántígeno HLA-DQB1*0201 y polimorfismos específicos del receptor de la cimoquina 2 (CCR2) ligados a un buen pronóstico 8 .…”

Presentamos el caso de un varón de 39 años con un cuadro de tumefacción dolorosa de color rojo violáceo en el dorso de los miembros inferiores, fiebre y adenopatías hiliares bilaterales. Se realizó biopsia de las lesiones cutáneas y de las adenopatías mediastínicas, obteniéndose el diagnóstico de eritema nodoso y sarcoidosis respectivamente. La asociación de estos hallazgos clínicos y anatomopatológicos hicieron posible el diagnóstico de Síndrome de Löfgren.
