Sarcoidal granulomatous tenosynovitis of the hands occurring in an organ transplant patient

Six years after kidney-pancreas transplant, a 47-year-old white man developed multiple subcutaneous and tenosynovial nodules of hands and wrists, limiting mobility. Biopsy of multiple nodules showed fibrosing, sarcoidal granulomas, some of which contained pigmented material. Microbiology, immunohistochemistry, scanning electron microscopy with backscattered electron imaging and energy dispersive X-ray analysis and polymerase chain reaction assays failed to show any infectious agents or foreign material. There was no historical, clinical or laboratory evidence of systemic sarcoidosis. It is not known whether the donor had sarcoidosis. Despite empiric antimycobacterial therapy and ongoing immunosuppressive therapy (corticosteroids, mycophenolate, cyclosporine), the man has progressively developed more nodules, limiting hand function. Sarcoidosis occurring in non-donor tissue post-transplantation is an exceedingly rare complication of transplantation. We discuss this case and review the literature on sarcoidal tenosynovitis and sarcoidosis occurring post-transplantation.

“…The disease occurs usually in the third, fourth, and fifth decades of life and is more common in African Americans. 4 The areas most commonly affected are the lungs and hilar lymph nodes. 1 Involvement of the hand is extremely uncommon, with a reported incidence of 0.2%.…”

“…2 Tenosynovitis of the hand is rare and less than 20 cases have been published so far in the English literature. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7] Of these the extensor tendons have been reported to be involved more commonly than the flexors. 3,4 There is a solitary report of an attritional rupture of the extensor pollicis longus after intraosseous in- volvement of the distal radius.…”

“…1 Involvement of the hand is extremely uncommon and tenosynovitis is rare. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7] Skeletal involvement is well known but has been reported to characteristically spare the subchondral bone. 8 We report a case of sarcoid tenosynovitis of the hand that presented with the complications of flexor tendon rupture, subchondral bone erosions, and multiple joint subluxations.…”

Arthritis and tenosynovitis are frequently reported as complications of inflammatory bowel diseases. About 10% of patients with ulcerative colitis presents articular inflammation, usually in the phases of activity of intestinal disease. Tenosynovitis is also a frequent complication of ulcerative colitis. We describe here a case of tenosynovitis of both ankles occurring in a patient affected by ulcerative colitis not in active phase. Chest X-ray and TC showed hilar lymphonode enlargement and transbronchial biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of sarcoidosis. In this disease tenosynovitis is very rare, unlike arthritis that is rather common. In conclusion we observed a case of ankle bilateral tenosynovitis as onset manifestation of sarcoidosis
