“…Periosteal reaction is uncommon. Bone expansion and fractures, soft tissue swelling, sclerosis, and acroosteolysis have been reported [1, 4, 15, 20, 21]. With digital involvement, rupture of the extensor tendon of the finger may occur [20].…”

We report a case of a 27-year-old man who presented with a progressive painful swelling at the base of his left index finger, with radiographs and a computed tomography scan revealing a lytic lesion of the proximal phalanx. Following further investigation, the patient underwent a bone biopsy that revealed a florid noncaseating granulomatous chronic inflammatory infiltrate, compatible with sarcoidosis. Osseous sarcoidosis of the hand is uncommon and, in the absence of significant systemic disease, is rarely the primary presenting feature. Early diagnosis and treatment of such undetermined bone pathology, via referral to a regional musculoskeletal tumor service, can prevent significant future complications.

Phalangeal lytic lesion: do not forget osseous sarcoidosis

et al. 2013

Sarcoidosis is a systemic granulomatous disease that most commonly involves the lung and thoracic lymph nodes. However, any organ can be affected. Osseous sarcoidosis has been reported in 3–13% of the cases. The skeletal involvement on radiographs is usually seen late in the course of the disease and is rarely the initial manifestation. We report a case of sarcoidosis revealed by a lytic lesion of the phalanx.

Sarcoidosis with nail involvement is rare and most commonly affecting plural digits. Nail changes are frequently an indication of systemic disease and underlying bone involvement, thus complete clinical evaluation with bone and thorax radiological examination is a necessity in suspected cases. We report a case of onychodystrophy with osseous involvement of only one finger as unique manifestation of sarcoidosis, which is very rare.

Can Sarcoidosis Cause Autoamputation of a Finger Phalanx?

Abstract: Sarcoidosis is a multisystemic granulomatous disease. In the case presented, autoamputation of the distal phalanx of a little finger of the left hand was observed. The possibility of autodigital amputation as a result of sarcoidosis is discussed.
